Finally happened to me...

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.
