No assigners involved here, officials are hired directly by the AD. My money is on the date or a car accident.
The officials would have driven together, these are all rural schools.

Twice, in the last three years, Mark, Jr., and I have had contracts to officiate H.S. basketball games where we sent a reminder email that included all pertinent contact information and attached copies of our contracts, with the email CC to our assigner. In the former case the AD never bothered to contact us or our assigner that she had canceled the game, and in the later (just last week) the AD moved the game up two days and never told us or our assigner and then was leaving voice mails on Junior's cell phone wanting to know why we were not at her game (because we were on the court officiating a basketball game).

And, naturally, because you lived up to your end of the contract, you were paid in full for these dates. Right?

I'm telling you -- this is a drum I'm going to bang (including here locally, when I have the opportunity) until things change.

I don't blame you. We work through assignees here and there is standard language concerning cancellations. And if the officials are to blame for a cancellation our association has to reimburse the schools for school bus transportation costs.

We had two crews show up for a game last week. Turns out BOTH had contracts. The crew that went home is afraid to ask for pay because they don't want to get scratched by that commissioner / conference.
