OT, We live in such as small community, everyone knows our name, knows what schools we went to and everything.

After my 4th year of reffing, I moved up to Varsity. I was working a game 60 miles from my home and the kid behind me said " Wow, he's not wearing his glasses, must have contacts" I was wearing contacts. I can't believe the fans knew who wore glasses and who didn't.

As for comments, none, we only go where everyone knows our name....

So everybody doesn't work nearly every night.

We have about 30 with 13 high schools. I thought 30 was too many.

We do Middle school and of course Boys and Girls JV and Varsity, about 1/3 of our guys do college games, so, yeah we work nearly every night and I double up from time to time.

I also work one church league and schedule for another.

I'm going to go with Immanuel Kant the next time somebody demands to know.

Our group has about 30 officials with 6 high schools. I feel lucky if I get two nights a week.

When I'm talking about high schools, other than tournaments and makeups, two nights a week is every night.
