Since the coaches knew of the cancellation in advance, it is upsetting to waste my time preparing for the game only to be met with this disappointment.

My questions for you... Is this a widespread problem in your Chapter too? What policies/recourses/consequences has your organization put in place to prevent these communication gaps? Has it worked?

Your thoughts are appreciated!
In previous jurisdictions where I've worked, schools who don't inform officials with enough advanced notice that they don't have to leave to travel to the site must pay the full game fee to the officials even if the game is cancelled.

I don't know if that's the policy where I am now, as I just moved here, but it makes sense.
