My local chapter, not sure about the state, allows for solo referee'ing for any matches except for Varsity. And if I remember correctly, it is automatically "both checks to the solo referee". but I could be wrong. Happened to me once in my first season, but the official showed up within the first quarter. He ended up going to the visitor's school, thinking that was where the game was. Luckily the two schools were only 15-20 minutes apart. He gave me like $10 or something for soloing the first few minutes.
But I agree, I wouldn't have asked or demanded for the second check. I would have simply emailed my assignor and told him the situation, and then have him take care of it from there, whether the school or the chapter gives me extra money for soloing.
Honestly, are we really in it for the money?
