We don't work with that sort of system here. We don't have contracts directly with the schools.

However, I think that it should be up to the school (or other contracting body) to make contact with the official to cancel the game unless there is explicit and clear terms about inclement weather in the contract. Otherwise, the school should pay the official.

Even if there are terms about weather cancellation, who's opinion is to be used about the weather being bad enough...and in what location. The weather could be perfectly clear where the official lives and could be snowed in where the school is.

Ultimately, nothing should be assumed. If the official shows up and had no instructions to the contrary, they should be paid as if the game were worked.
