In our association arrival 30 min prior is a mandate. Officials who arrive later than 30 min. more than once in a season are fined by our board $5.00 per occurance. If the official should show up late more than 5 times in one season his schedule is suspended. This measure has take our association from having several late or no shows 5-6 years ago to almost none in the last 2-3 seasons.
