Regardless, I left at 4:00 to give myself an hour. Anyways, it took me just short of two hours to get there because of traffic.

I got there at halftime of the first game, and finished the game and the second game. I just got the check, and they paid me what must be 75% of a doubleheader game fee.

I would understand it if I had plum forgotten about when the game was supposed to start, but I thought I had given myself plenty of time to get there. When I saw the AD after the game, he made no mention of the reduction in pay.

Is this SOP, or should I go after my missing 20 bucks?
Are you kidding? I would have told the AD, on site, to not pay me for the first game AT ALL.

It's not the AD's problem you ran into traffic or whatever. You *weren't* there. Why should you get full pay?

If you worked 3 of the 4 halves, that's 75% of a DH, right?
