if we do not get paid at the plate we do not do the game. We inform the assignor and good luck on those teams getting umpires in the future.
Using your scenario you could do a Double Dip and not get paid for some 5/6 hours of work.
Also, at least from my experience, I am not going to wait around until AFTER the game to get paid - too many problems.
The aforementioned is the accepted practice in the association and area in which I work.

I'd rather run the risk of not getting paid for a date than look like I'm walking to the plate with my hand out.
