I just don't understand how guys don't show up for games. I can't imagine not showing up for one of my games in either basketball or baseball, or even being late. I can see if there's a mix up in communication, but even that shouldn't happen much when we use the Arbiter for almost everything here. Being at your games and on time is one of the things you CAN control in regards of how you're perceived as an official (Like hustle and appearance).

I always call my partner the day before to confirm date-time-location...If I get voice mail, I make sure I call again until I get the person.
