Why do the Atoms almost always play first at 11:00, the Bantams next at 12:30 and then the Peewees at 3:00?
The reason we schedule games in this manner is to support our game officiating plan. Atoms are normally scheduled for 2 or 3 field officials, and Bantam games normally have 5 and Peewees normally have 3 or 4. If we follow that logic, each official will normally attend to 2 games. The first two from the Atom game are joined by 2 or 3 more (5 in total) for the Bantam game and then 3 or 4 stay for the final game. Like all good plans, there are adjustments made, and sometimes these numbers fluctuate. However, we have to have a plan to work from and in general, that is why the games occur in that order.
