Worst luck ever

No, you shouldn't get a half game fee in those situations.

This stuff all evens out in the end... I'm sure you've picked up some additional games in the middle/later part of the season that you didn't have assigned initially. Where do you think those games came from?

I haven't picked up a single game this whole season since early December. We don't get a lot of snow that when we do, people start freaking out at 3 inches of snow like it is the end of the world. Where I was to officiate today, they're expecting around 5-7 inches of snow.

Just to clarify, because I think some are getting confused.

I am not saying we should get compensated in ALL cancellation situations. Only when a school decides to cancel because of the students getting into trouble and put on suspension, players getting injured, etc. and the team just doesn't have enough players to play a game, then we should be compensated.

Weather, Property related cancellations, then no compensation because those would be postponed to another date. But cancellations are never made up and the school would gain that money.

I just emailed both of my assignors to ask them to keep me in mind for future games that become available and fit my schedule. Hopefully I'll get a game or two later.

Well, the ones you lost that are getting rescheduled are getting picked up by someone, just not you. Perhaps you should pay the school for not being able to do those on the new dates. Now they have to search for new officials for those dates.
