Thoughts...

Verbal contracts are legal and binding in Ohio. That said, lets look at the the type of games you are officiating: summer league. The league assigner said that he would assign you 4 games a night, one night a week; after a few weeks something occured within the league that meant that the last night of the league was going to be only 2 games. Its summer league, this kind of stuff happens all of the time, don't sweat it. Summer league is a chance to get paid to practice.

I am not a lawyer, but I would think most states accept oral or verbal contracts on some level. But I know that all kinds of those contracts would not be binding or if the original terms change on that contract changes I am sure someone could refuse the newer terms even in Ohio. And the person that claims you violated the terms would have to have some evidence to prove you broke the terms.

If I am 5 minutes from the site that might be one thing, if I am going an hour or more that might be another thing all together. In many cases 2 summer games might not pay the gas to drive to the site. It has got to be worth your time too.
