Contact the assigner, remind him/her that your daughter attends, then:

(1) offer to be released, work the games if s/he thinks it's okay.

-or

(2) decline the games, explain the reason, indicate your willingness to work elsewhere on the same date.

Bob offers two reasonable options for you to pursue, having said that, and having been there and done that with regard to familiy members (sister at the college level; sons at the high school level), my advice to you is that you really have only one option and that is Number 2. You could officiate two perfect games but if either of the games come down to a last second call that you make and your daugher's school wins, no one will care that you graded out with a 100%, you will be remembered as the Homer who screwed your daughter's school's opponent.

If it these are varsity games or varsity night games like a prelim/JV game I would say not to work the games for the reason you stated. If the games are lower level games where very few people are in the gym, I would not find a problem with you working those games. That matters because they are probably trying to fill the games and need people that will be there without much problem. That being said, if it really bothers you, then give back the games and give a reason why and explain you had them blocked off.

Peace

It was as great weekend of football, the Buckeyes won, the Wolverines didn't win (of course the didn't lose either), and the Penguins beat the Leathernecks. Have a great football post-season.
