Cancellation with a twist

I was scheduled to work the first game of a tournament that pits the teams from the North and South divisions of a conference against one another based on the standings. 1 plays 1, 2 plays 2, ..., 6 plays 6.

Our game was scheduled for 6PM. But one of the contracted officials ended up scheduled to work the game involving a school where he teaches -- so we switched games and took the late game tonight.

This afternoon the visiting team for the late game decided to cancel all events due to snow -- home *and* away. The 6PM game was still on, last I heard. So the other crew got switched to the early game and I ended up losing the game as it's been rescheduled for a day I'm already working.

So I'll go out to dinner with my family instead. For once, I feel like I'm the winner.
