What is your Association's Policy on...

[ASA/NYSSOBLUE]

...last minute game cancellations? I am curious, as we here established a long time ago the policy that state: Any last minute non-weather related cancellations shall result in said fees for said game(S) being paid to the officials.

Was just about to leave for 3 at a location, when I got notice that the first two were cancelled! And yes, I will get paid for BOTH. Our assignors have felt that a) this is almost always done by a team wishing to avoid forfeits, and b} we are PROFESSIONALS who have cleared our personal time - or perhaps had a chance to work somewhere else. My analogy is always that, if you have an appointment with a doctor, or a plumber or electrician, and cancel THEM at the last minute - guess what? You are going to get charged.

This is one advantage our system of our assignors only taking money in advance before scheduling has. If this was a cash on the field set up - guess what partner, you are SOL....
