To Be (compensated) or Not To Be (compensated)

[dan74]

...that is the question (kinda catchy, huh? Yeah, I know, not really).

Anyway...got out of work today at 3:30 in the middle of a decent snow storm and arrived at the school just right around 4:45 for a 5:45 game. Right when I got to the parking lot my partner for the game called my cell and told me the visiting team cancelled, as that school's bus company wouldn't transport in the nasty weather. The host school's AD was notified at 4:30. I live a about 30 miles from the host school (took me close to an hour to get home).

What is everyone's experience in this type of situation as far as pay goes? Do you just write it off, which I'm fine with, or do you believe there should compensation, at least gas money?
