Fortunately she did drop it...both were pretty well behaved most of the game.

I lied: There are two positives about WI. You cannot start any game under the WIAA umbrella with fewer than 2 officials. This game wouldn't have started here until a second official arrived or was found.

I can only dream, Rich.

I am really starting to loathe working solo...especially since it seems to be rather common for sub-varsity ball here. I'd rather work a football game with two officials I think. We don't even get paid extra.

I think that's why the rule is in place -- schools would start thinking about saving $40 here and there and get much more lax in their assigning practices. Schools assign all subvarsity games here, so the rule forces them to hire 2 officials for every FR, SO, JV, etc. game.

That makes perfect sense. We just have a lot of flakes for partners here.

All of our games are assigned by the association assigner, and I have yet to work a hs game solo.

Just wondering....

I get that your partner went to the wrong school. But after he figured out that he was at the wrong school, why did he decide not to go to the right school? Never having gone to the wrong school(yet), if I did, I would hurry as fast as possible to get to the right school. What was his reason for not showing up at all?

Doesn't seem like that big of a screw-up since you were working solo. Did you and your partner communicate prior to the game? If my partner went to the wrong school, the first thing I would be asked by my assigner would be if I had talked to them prior to the game and made sure we were on the same page with the game time and site. If I said no, I'd be as responsible as him for working solo.

Exactly. It's officials taking care of officials. When the schools do the assigning, I think they have to be nudged to do the right thing, sometimes.
