slowwhistle, instead of focusing on getting all the different table people to work together to get the info into the book, I'd focus on getting a person to the table to do the book, and let the book be late as long as there's SOMEONE THERE TO DO IT!!! Get with the AD, site supervisor, home coach if necessary, and get someone there!

This is more important than the book, because you need to establish a relationship with this person, in order to make the game less troublesome. Especially if there's just been a delay because of weather, you don't want one person starting the game and then the "real" person coming in late or never, with the sub just sort of hanging out, making mistakes, etc, etc etc. If the "real" person is gonna be late, you want to train and settle someone else and get that sitch all firmed up before the game starts. Then when the "real" person gets there (if ever) they can help, but keep that other person there and keep them learning.

There are two benefits to this. 1) You have some consistency on the book through the whole game. 2) That school has a substitute with some experience, for when the "real" person gets the flu or something.
