OK So I want to diverge a bit.

A couple of times I have worked either a JV or varsity game prior to another varsity game. When I finished the other crew was not complete and i offered to work the second game and the AD approved. I got out on the floor, and at 2 min before the game, the assigned official shows up.

So, when do you "have" the game and the right to tell the official who failed to show up on Lombardi time to head on down the road?

Thanks

Depends on your area. I'd think before the game is okay; during the 1Q *might* be okay; any later and it would (or could) change the game too much.
