The contract was simply the MHSAA's standard officials contract that used to be used.

As for contacting the MHSAA. I actually sent a letter and several emails to the MHSAA regarding the lack of payment. I did not fill out an officials report. The reason being that I was not aware I wasn't being paid properly until payroll was processed two weeks later. The problem was that at the time I was a school employee of the school district this occurred in. Unlike most districts, this district required all school employees to be paid through payroll with taxes taken out. This means we didn't know if we were not paid properly until well after the contest.

The district has since gone to ref-pay and I am no longer an employee of the district since were were privitized several years ago.

As an assignor as well as an official, taking the school to court is something that should never happen.
