How many times do you see 1 team?

That said, because I can have a school on the road at many different sites, I might have them in Christmas or Thanksgiving Tournaments, or the assignor might send me there more than once a season, it is possible for me to have the same school 3-4 times in a season.

You said best.

I might only have a team twice a season and that is if I have a team in a tournament or shootout. I will only see a two teams twice this year because of conference the assignors put me at the schools twice and that can happen when teams are good and the assignor wants to put certain officials on a certain level of game (rivalry or schools that have problems when playing each other). Rather rare that happens, but it does happen. That being said, even when the post season starts, I will likely see teams I have not seen all season at least at the regional level.

We have around 20 schools and 65 officials. For me to see a team 4-5 times in a season isn't unheard of. We also cover about a 200 mile north to south area so I might have one school at home twice then on the road twice.

There are upwards of 75 high schools in the metro area. Three assignors handle most of these schools. It is not uncommon because of multiple assignors, tournaments, shoot outs and non conference games to see teams multiple times.

I will see at least 20 teams two times and two teams three times.

One assignor cares and will make an effort to avoid an official seeing the same team too many times. The other two don’t seem to care.

Personally I don’t like to see a team more than twice. Three is okay if they are spread out far enough apart. Anymore than that doesn’t seem to be good for anyone.

I had a team in three consecutive games once.

First game, they stole the tip and we missed it.
Second game, I got it.
Third game ended in a fight.

On the girls side, I saw two different teams three times. On the boys side, I have one team that I have seen twice. I will likely get a team for the second time in post season.

I live in a rural area. The schools are far apart and it requires considerable miles to avoid seeing a team multiple times.

We have 10 High Schools (so 19 teams one small school doesn't have a girls team) and just over 20 officials that do varsity.

I have seen 3 teams 4 times each; 2 teams 3 times each and 6 teams twice each. So, I will have seen 11 out of 19 more than once not counting post season.
