Weather Cancellations

[RedAndWhiteRef]

Arbiter is No. 1 for me, but if it's public school, I would just check the news and see if the applicable county's schools are closed that day. Where I'm from, if there's no school, there's no after-school activities, which certainly includes athletics.

You'll find out this weekend, LOL.

Here it's automatic cancellation if public schools shut down. Private schools may still play depending on travel conditions.

I have 2 different assigners. The first is an 'old school' guy and will make the call to you himself. Usually, just following local sportswriters on Twitter is faster, but I still appreciate the call.

The second goes through the Arbiter and has already assigned R, U1 & U2. The assigner calls the R and the R is responsible for notifying U1 & U2

I was just notified that I have been unassigned from games today--it was 2 games-- a 9th grade girls then boys game--then I recv'd an email just a few mins ago fro my assignor telling me that "the school is closed due to snow day and games will be re-scheduled next week so keep my availability fluid".
Actually I am a bit miffed by this because I drove to work just fine today and this particular school pays by check on the spot instead of having to wait on snail mail for game fees.

I've only had 1 cancellation in volleyball-the Arbiter sent a notification and assignor (junior college conference) sent me a text message.I believe here at least in high school the originally scheduled crew if available gets first dibs on the reschedule.

Basically, all of this is decided by how your assigner runs his association and the district handles cancellations.

Personally, I always call schools before I head out to make sure the game is still on or there has been a change in time. If I arrive and it's been cancelled I'm getting paid for the game.
