That's fine, let 'em fill it with the greens. I can find other things to do instead of umpiring. I've been through all of this on both sides. The assignor has a choice, x number of good umpires who know their limitations and give the teams quality umpiring or guys who are looking for the paycheck and are most likely mediocre, or will be by the end of the day.
When the teams ask why I'm not working their tournament, I simply tell them the assignor didn't need me. Let them complain to the association.
