Calling out a fellow official? Advice needed.

Around here, most of my games are doubleheaders. Depending on size of the school, you might get something like this:

9A/9B
9th/B-squad (10th grade)
B-squad/JV
JV/V

Most of the time, at the biggest schools, a game night will have B/JV/V games back-to-back-to-back. One crew will generally get the B/JV doubleheader at 4:30 and 6:00, and a different crew will get the 7:30 varsity game. The smaller schools will usually only have a JV/V doubleheader, and the same crew will handle both games.

I've even got one night in a couple of weeks where we have 4 officials covering 4 games like this:
Me and Partner #1 doing the JV game at 5:30
Partner #2 and New Guy doing the 5:30 freshman game.
Me, Parther #1, and Partner #2 doing the Varsity game at 7:00.

Back on topic though... I could've written the same post as you did about a game I had last season... it happens.

My advice: call/email your assigner. My assigner is very adamant that we call him first if there's a situation that he's going to be get called about from an AD... he wants to know our side of the story before he talks to the school. Phrase the conversation in a "hey, I'm wondering if you've gotten any feedback on my performance" style rather than a "That Guy's terrible" style.
