Just an FYI about what days games are scheduled for.  Nearly all games are originally scheduled for Friday.  However, because of the shortage of officials, the ref association asks for volunteers for Thursday games.  If not enough teams volunteer to move to Thu, then they start to assign games to Thu.  Between MS, JV, V, and youth games, there are not enough refs.  I'm sure many of you remember the strike at the beginning of the ''18 or '19 season.  Because the ref pay in Fl is so low compared to our neighboring states many officials have either stepped away from the profession/side hustle, or have left for other states.

Then there are issues with faith-based holidays.  That also causes Thu games here in So Fl because we have a high population of students/players who observe these holidays.

And yes, practice time before games is a factor in when games get rescheduled.

Not to mention all of the armchair quarterbacking, and second-guessing from non-officials who don't know they are talking about, like many of the goofs who post on this message board.
