Agree school shouldn't have to foot the bill for 2 officials if only 1 show up.
Car accident on the way to the game? What if only one official was assigned? In our little corner of Connecticut we have some difficulty assigning two officials to freshman, and middle school, late afternoon games on really busy days. Sometimes there's only one official available at that time in that town.

Every public school in my area gives you extra if you work alone. Some give you both game checks, others 1.5 times your regular fee. I've worked alone many times and it is not pleasant at any level. I do think we deserve something extra for the effort of working alone.

I once had to do a night of four consecutive 7th and 8th grade boys games alone due to a partner no show. Ended the night with 6 technicals and 2 ejections, one player and one coach (son and father). It was a Catholic school league so the number of T's wasn't really that unusual.

I ran out of gas. 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. It wasn't my fault, I swear to God.
