A couple of things:
1. There is a new sportsmanship policy from the CIAC. I found out about it yesterday sitting in a gym waiting for the start of a game. Teams will shake hands before the game and not after the game. It is not our concern. You have nothing to do with teams either shaking hands, before during or after a game. After the game you should be in your locker room. No one is looking for your autograph. School administration handles that.
2. I don't need to know if you issue a technical foul, unless you feel I will be getting a call from an AD. Only need the ejection notice if you eject a player, coach or parent.
3. I am continuing to have changes. IF YOU had a game and the game was moved you should be put back on the changed date. If you are not, it means you are either blocked on that date or have another game scheduled. I do not take you off a changed date. This is done by the computer.
4. Please block dates in arbiter that you cannot work. Also, if you can unblock dates that will help me. There are days when we have no available officials to work.
5. Please check arbiter before you leave for a game. Games are being canceled less than two hours before the start of the game. I am not called. The game is canceled by the AD and I won't know unless I look at the schedule to accept the change. I don't look at the schedule every minute so I might not catch that change until close to the start of your game. Please check arbiter before you leave.
6. Stay healthy and Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
