A little off topic, but I hope interesting anyway.
About two years ago, I got a call from an assignor to do a rec tournament at a facility just across the Columbia river in Washington state. This was at a "sister" facility to one I work here in Oregon. They were short of refs and needed a few extra for this tournament. I told him I would do it.
When I got my check, it seemed a little short. I called the guy and he told me that he took out dues for the association over there. He said he "forgot" to tell me that the facility would use only association refs from his association. I reminded him that he never told me that. He then asked me if I would just stay in his association, and that in the fall and winter, he would give me assignments for their HS schedule. I told him thanks, but no thanks, and to send me a check for the amount he withheld. He sent me a check drawn on his personal account. I guess he had to leave a record of my membership in case anyone at the facility asked.
