The visiting team is one with which I have a long and ugly history, so I was not surprised to be cut by them, but the question is why now? The only answer I could think of was that they had just seen who was assigned to the games tomorrow.

Did you download a copy of your Arbiter assignment for that game when you first accepted it?

As far as the OhioHSAA and the MichiganHSAA is concerned, a copy of your Arbiter assignment is considered a valid contract. If the game has not been canceled and for whatever reason an official is removed for the game, he or she cannot be removed from the game without having his or her contract bought out.
