So, we turned around, suited up again and played another full game and another extra quarter. All in all, pretty good check for the night but sorta embarrassing to walk back out onto that floor.

Lesson learned will be to make sure to verify total number of games when talking to staff before tipoff.


I wish I had a cool signature

Shouldn't you know the number of games when you accept the assignment?

Not where I work. They get assigned just like any other game (except, here it's middle school instead of JH).

We're constantly told to treat all games the same, but because it's junior high or middle school it's alright to add and subtract games on a whim, to expect officials to show up not knowing the amount of games to be officiated?

That's what I was wondering. Sounds like the assignment was made by notepad and telephone. And not very well, at that.
