Late playoff official
 
Last night I went to watch a first round boys playoff at the local high school. During the warmups I only saw two officials. I asked one of the guys where their other partner was. He shrugged. "Late. He'll be here after a while."
It was a while. The guy arrived with two minutes left in the half. He took his position and the game continued.

What would have been the repercussions for this where you live? Short term and long term? Would state regulations allow you to start a playoff game with two officials, especially if the third was known to be on the way? Given the choice, would you have allowed this guy to enter the game in the middle, or just say never mind? What kind of sanctions would your association have for this?

for something like that I wonder if it was a legitimate reason or if there was a last minute replacement.

All I know is the guys came from about 90 miles away. They were supposed to meet and all ride together, but this guy was late so the others had to leave without him. He drove in by himself.

Well since we weren't there and don't know why he was late can we really make a judgement as to what penalty would/should be enforced?:D

It wasn't my fault, I swear to God.

I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts.

Cab Fare and locust are fine. But a flood? Seriously? You should have prepared LONG before!!

Suddenly I have the craving for four fried chickens and a coke.

There's a lot of questions still need to be answered before the Assoc sanctions the guy. He may have a legit reason.

It's 90 miles to our game site. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Are you the police?

No ma'am, we're officials.
