When I was assigning softball and volleyball in my area, we had a problem with a new high school. In the volleyball season, not only were checks not available at the gym, they were weeks in coming. When a complaint was registered with the athletic director, his comment was that the officials were at the low end of the importance scale. He was informed that the officials are independent contractors, and under no obligation to work his school's home matches. An apology came immediately, and checks were always at the gym. That carried over to the softball season, and we never had a problem with that school from then on.
