Most JV games in the region of the greater Houston area where I work football are three official affairs.

There's one school district around here that pays 5 for all HS games, including frosh, and 4 for jr. high games. That's sweet, although I don't get over there -- other side of town. I wouldn't work JV with less than 4, though I've had to on several occasions due to no-shows. There's no way we can work these spread offenses with only 3.
I was encouraged that the second half of the varsity game friday night was much better played. We feel better about our performance when we have fewer fouls.

Some other crew can do those games. We work as much as we want with games that have at least 4 paid for. Sometimes (when all of us are available to work) we'll take 5 and split 4 checks.

I wish I had that choice but it's either work hardly any football or work with what the system is now.
I'm certainly in no position to change it right now. I'm used to working 4 officials for all subvarsity so it is going to be quite a change.

Easy start to the season. Had our states #1 ranked D1 (biggest schools) win a clock runner 49-14. We had 4 flags all five yarders, no real issues at all.
Had a varsity reserve game on Saturday morning. Coaches come out and let us know that haven't worked on specials teams yet so we are just going to start on the 30-yard line after scores and move the ball up 35 yards if we decide to punt. The also usually play 12 minute quarters and they only wanted to play 10 minute quarter, please don't twist my arm!!! The game then turned into a clock runner...started at 9am and we were off the field at 10:05am...someone has to work them.

For you WI guys, what is a Varsity reserve game? I'm guessing a game for the varsity players that didn't play the night before?

Well I got the first inadvertant whistle out the way. Funny cause one of my partners was saying he would do it just to get out the way. I was head linesman and there was a pile up in the middle of the field and I thought momentum was stopped, as soon as I start to blow that whistle, the kid is off and running. Coach start hollering but then I guess he realizes its a JV game and was pretty cool rest of the night.
