I have reached out to the assigner and he has tried to communicate with this guy. The assigner has been unsuccessful. It was my last call with my assigner that made me decide to post this thread, because he had no good news for me. Thank you for the advise on the reporting all Referee income. I will make sure of this in the future. As far as leaving the gym without getting paid, he told EVERY official that worked the tournament he would mail them a check. No one was paid that sunday of the tournament. I was just the only person that never received a check. Thanks for the input.

Local news watchdog reporter would be my next move. Have your contacted the national AAU HQs yet? Does the organization running the tournament have a website? Have you talked to the Better Business Bureau? Contact teams that participated in the tournament and let them know that the person they paid to enter the tournament pocketed some of their money.

There are so many things you can do to make this jackwagon uncomfortable.

My opinion, text is a great way to communicate. Now you have records from him, that you can present in court if that is where this goes, that wouldn't be there if there was only a phone call.
