Worst luck ever

[representing]

Just found this in the PIAA's By-Laws:

"If a PIAA member school violates or cancels a contract with
an official, the District Committee or the Board of Directors,
within their respective jurisdictions, may require a school so
violating or so canceling to pay to the offended official the fee or
fees for the Contest or Contests which have been provided in the
official contract. Failure of a PIAA member school to live up to
the terms of the contract shall be considered a violation of the
Constitution and By-Laws of PIAA."

So, if I really wanted to be a dick I could file a complaint with the district or PIAA to get paid the $52 from both home teams because the school cancelled a contractual agreement due to non-weather conditions. Now, nothing in the by-laws says weather, but I'm assuming by "cancellations" they mean any games not made up later in the season.

Check with your respective jurisdiction. Further, just because you can doesn't mean you should. It may cost you more than $200 in the long run.

True. I emailed PIAA about it, going to wait for their response within the next day or two.

I really wouldn't push this, my guess is the rule doesn't mean what you hope it means. I'm guessing it's been worked out at the local level through your assigners.

So you bypassed your local chapter and district rep? You might want to fill them in on your grievance before Dr. Lombardi gives them a call asking for details.

If you think losing these games is crappy wait until you start doing stuff like this and you will probably find that you will lose more games in the future, i.e you won't be assigned.

I hope you aren't this angry when you are calling a game
