Ok, the story behind the original question/post......High school games (in season tournament) were scheduled last MAY AND ACCEPTED. Thursday before the weekend of the high school games and late morning an umpire called to cancel the high school games for the oppurtunity to do a DIII conference tournament. The unfortunete thing was that the umpire stated to have a sprained ankle to the high school assigner ( i'm pretty sure that constitutes a LIE !!!). When the high school assigner saw on Arbiter (as mentioned by Skahtboi in earlier post...this is a great tool) he wasn't real happy. According to the story the umpire told the College assigner that it was a mess up and took his (college) assignment two months ago because he/she thought it would just be a couple of games and be able to do both assignments. (Please note... these assignments are a good 60 to 90 minutes away from each other) When it was found out that it wouldn't be workable it was told to the high school assigner that a sprained ankle had occured in a earlier game that week and couldn't work. The funny thing......if it hadn't been found out via Arbiter BEFORE it happened it would have been discovered later due to the umpires that worked the college games AND the umpire in question had their NAME put into the box score of the game and it was published. What goes around....comes around.
