There's never been a cap, as far as I know, and I've been officiating since 1979.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. may know differently. He's been officiating since 1879.

Mark Padgett has been officiating as long as any of us, but he's never worked an overtime game in his life; never, ever; so he may not be of any help to this discussion.
