2 officials, no teams

[johnnyg08]

Must be a new AD...no experienced AD would in their right mind say "that sucks for you" get paid or don't work there again. pretty simple...how far you had to travel should have nothing to do with it...it's the principle of the matter. Let's reverse the scenario...let's say that officials don't show up at the gym...is your assigner going to say..."well that sucks for you" no he wouldn't.

Yes, we'd get paid, which is the only real incentive they have to inform you of the cancellation. Contact your assigner (if applicable). If there's no assigner, check your state association to see if they have a policy in place; then send the AD a polite note reminding him of the policy. Provide your address as a cover. "Dear Mr. Jones, My name is Johnny Official and I was scheduled to officiate the game on xx/xx/xx, which was cancelled at the last minute. In case you don't have it on file, I've enclosed my address for you to mail my check for the game fee."

Hopefully, you have an assigner to fight that battle for you; it'll go much more slowley otherwise.

We would get paid as well. However, since you said it was a Christian school, they may chalk it up to you doing the Lord's work or some type of "Missionary Officiating" I think both could be tax deductable!

I have worked Christian schools and they would always pay me when I walked in the door. Never had any issues with them - can't say the same for some public schools. Always got paid but sometimes had to do some searching for the guy with the check

Usually I have the same experience. My favorite is the school that pays from the Coke machine. We get a LOT of singles........unfortunately no place to spend them SO I have to walk around with a bunch of singles in my pocket

The same thing happen to me last week, Terp, only I drove 30 miles. (I mentioned this in another thread.)

The AD emailed our assignor, and told him that he would call us. He didn't. I have to admit that I was seething about it.

A few days later, my partner told me that we get half a game fee plus mileage when that happens. We'll see.

In this case we would get a full game fee, not from the school, but from the assigner.
