There are no hard and fast rules for how these things are handled. It's a local issue.

All I know is that since I don't work for one assignor, my willingness to take games from anyone doing scheduling depends on how they handle situations like this. For example, if I drive to a field, I expect to get full pay for a game regardless of whether (1) the field is not playable or (2) the weather's poor and they push the decision off until we're there to "help" them with it or (3) the teams simply don't show up and they forgot to cancel the umpiring.

In many places there are a shortage of people willing to work in the summer, so the assignors better treat their people well.
