In my opinion, the way it should be is as follows:
-- game cancelled well ahead of time and no one shows up: no fee; certain conditions for officials who aren't rescheduled are possible, which would depend on the circumstances
-- officials show up always means mileage
-- game cancelled prior to start = mileage plus SOME fee (half is appropriate, but this can be debated)
-- game suspended/cancelled after start = full fee and mileage
-- game continued later = 2x mileage and at least full fee PLUS SOME more
Reasons for suspension/cancellation really don't matter. Most of these, by definition, are out of control of the schools involved.
