When is it too late to turnback a game ???????

Hey guys, I appreciate how everyone responded. I think part of the equation / solution is what kind of mentality does the assigner have.

Some assigners assign based on availability ( most hs assigners) and some
assigners assign on ability.

I think 48 hrs is reasonable, unless it is the DeMatha / Gonzaga game in DC or
the Christ The King / St. Raymond's game in NYC.

I know guys that wouldn't work a DII or DIII game if they were assigned a high profile hs game.


Sorry to you guys out in the midwest, the games I referenced are some big time catholic school games on the east coast.

I have actually been in this situation. I had a falling out with the assigner of the Washington DC Catholic league when I called to turn back a game. I did this nearly a month before the game and it was for a college game! The game I turned back was for another one of his leagues, not the Catholic league. I stood my ground and told him what he was doing wasn't right with the early notice I gave him - he took all my high school games. He called me the next day and gave me more/better games than he originally gave me. I ended up doing a lot of those Catholic league games and we got along great after that.
