The games tone has already been set and I was not a part of that, I don't think you can catch up, you change the game at that point for the players. That isn't fair to them.

You may not be at your best, but even being part way there is better than leaving someone to handle a game by themselves. If it was a choice vbetween 2 or 3 man, I could see your point. But one person cannot do the job of two and the players will benefit from your stepping in, even if it is after the 1st quarter and even if you don't have your "A" game that day. Even your "B" or "C" game will be better than having a single ref.
