Game Fees and Suspended Contests

[Texas Aggie]

In my opinion, the way it should be is as follows:

-- game cancelled well ahead of time and no one shows up: no fee; certain conditions for officials who aren't rescheduled are possible, which would depend on the circumstances

-- officials show up always means mileage

-- game cancelled prior to start = mileage plus SOME fee (half is appropriate, but this can be debated)

-- game suspended/cancelled after start = full fee and mileage

-- game continued later = 2x mileage and at least full fee PLUS SOME more

Reasons for suspension/cancellation really don't matter. Most of these, by definition, are out of control of the schools involved.
