1219       Official fails to appear.

 

       When an assigned official fails to appear, the contest should be played, and it will be the

       Responsibility of the host school to provide either an alternate CIF Southern Section official

       Or a mutually agreed upon qualified person to officiate the contest at all levels of competition.

       If both schools cannot mutually agree upon a qualified person as a substitute official, the

       Game will be rescheduled.

 

       Question: What is the position of the CIF Southern Section with reference to using

       Replacement officials when assigned officials fail to appear?

 

       Answer: Due to the extreme liability potential, only certified officials should be used

       to replace an official that fails to appear.

 

1220       Failure to notify official of change.

 

       When a regularly scheduled game date is changed and the host management fails to notify

       the official and he or she arrives at the site of the contest and there is no game, the

       Official shall receive half of the fee.

 

1221   .1   Inclement weather.

 

 

       In case of inclement weather, it is the responsibility of the official assigned to contact the

       host management to learn whether or not the game will be played. If the official should

       arrive at the site of the contest without previously checking and the contest has been

       cancelled, neither the host management nor the CIF Southern Section is required to

       reimburse the official for any part of his or her fee. If the official has been notified

       by the host management by 12 noon that the contest will be played, and he or she arrives

        at the site of the contest, and in the meantime the contest has been cancelled, the official

       shall receive half of the fee.

 

1221 .2   At the time the official call, he or she should be notified of the rescheduled date and

       time. If this is not possible, it is the host management’s responsibility to notify the

       official of the rescheduled date and time as soon as it is known.

 

1221.3   If the original official is not able to officiate on the rescheduled date, it is the responsibility

       of the host management to secure a replacement official, by notifying their area assignor

       of officials.
