2 officials, no teams

We have a blizzard rolling through tomorrow here. I asked for the AD's cel phone this morning so I can keep contact on my drive (or skid).


Btw, 30 minutes?

Yes 30 minutes before a game when there's only 1 game. They do not have a JV team, no game before our game. We go dressed because they don't have a shower or dressing room.

I always send an e-mail to the AD of the school we are going to either the aftenoon before or the morning of the game. I include a line that if anything changes or if they have questions, here is my cell phone. Please give me a call. I will guarantee you if I ran into this situation after sending this e-mail, a check would be coming.

We would probably show up 40 minutes or so before the game with no preliminary game, but that's only because we have to be on the court at T-20 minutes.

If we arrived any earlier, there'd probably be nobody there to let us in.

I can understand no shower at some of these smaller schools, but not to have a dressing room? That's unacceptable, in my view. Even if they have to let you use the principal's office, you need to have a room to get away.

If I'd had games tonight, they'd have been cancelled. Schools closed all over the Front Range.

We had a massive cancellation last Tuesday. Tornado watches and warnings all over the map. Assignor emailed us at about 1:30 pm. Asked us to contact our crews. His email said only one game would be played in the 3 county area. That was down near me, and we ended up with a late tornado warning.

By later that evening, I had 2 new games scheduled for Wednesday & Thursday. And I assume the re-scheduled games went to someone else because I was booked. It all evens out.

Last year, I had a Saturday evening game canceled at 3:30 or so. I got paid.
