Looking for help on this one... I'm about to give up and go with guess and check :/ is it impossible? If there is one referee in the southern region and one referee in the northern region, both having to officiate some games in each region and wanting to travel equally as much... is this possible if the northern region has about 211 games and the southern region has 119 games and each ref should get about the same number of games to officiate? ... just curious ... best answer that I could come up with was 0 travel ... there must be something better! math geeks (heroes)!

If there is one referee in the southern region and one referee in the northern region, both having to officiate some games in each region and wanting to travel equally as much… is this possible if the northern region has about 211 games and the southern region has 119 games and each ref should get about the same number of games to officiate? … just curious … best answer that I could come up with was 0 travel … there must be something better!
