Softball / Football / Baseball, in that order. Baseball only as a fill-in (although they consider me a "rules-guy" over there too).

Softball & Baseball here - though baseball is as a fill-in (7 BB games this year out of a little over 240).

I know one of the volleyball honchos...she also does softball...I need to give her a call. Actually some of my buddies in Idaho were talkin about some of the outright thievery...And another someone told me that for working lines in the college games you get $40 a match. I can do that...


Oh, as far as this thread goes, I used to do football and basketball and a whole lotta baseball. I snuck in two baseball games this year...sssssshhhhh don't tell....

Currently football in fall and only high school softball
in the spring. Used to work baseball too back north and
a lot of slo-pitch and fast pitch rec ball too !
I plan on working to age 70 if my health allows and

Right behind you just turning 65. FP softball in spring and summer, VB in the winter the past couple years. No more running up and down the court; stand still and let the game come to you.

However, putting in 8 - 10 hour days for tournaments can be quite taxing.

Pay is less than SB, but frequent quads and tournaments gets you a lot more matches per season than you get games in a softball season.

Baseball

In the past, there was soccer (got too old & slow) & auto racing (life changes).

Am too involved with football otherwise to referee & do it right. Can't keep up with the kids at basketball on 2 bad knees!

You drove a blue car? Or a black and white striped car? What is the penalty for obstruction?
