RO'ing a GSSF Match and Shooting it the same day?

[MGMorden]

Just kind of curious. I volunteered to help RO an upcoming GSSF match. I've shot GSSF once, but this will be my first time working a match. I was hoping to shoot it as well but I'm RO'ing on Sunday and the Saturday before that is a local USPSA match that I typically attend.

Just wondering if it's common for the RO's who do shoot the match to do so on the same day they're working (ie, would I get a break that long) or if they typically shoot it on the other day.

Thanks!

I work both shifts, both days. Sundays (at BGSL) are not near as busy as Saturday. So I slip out during a lull. Most RO's here do the same. Saturday is crazy full.

Normally sunday is not as busy but turnouts have been setting new records this year so be prepared to wait until 2:00 to shoot.

I have found it physically and mentally challenging to shoot and RO the same day. This year, decided to shoot on Saturday and RO on Sunday; devoting each day to the task at hand. I have shot and performed RO duties on the same day but scores suffer...

I've ROed and shot on same day, even won a match doing it. In general it's a lot on me to shoot and RO. Lately I've shoot on Friday and that kept me free to RO and no worry about shooting.
