Common use of Scratches Clause in Contracts

Scratches. (1) After a school has accepted an official, and then scratches the official prior to a contest, the scratching must be in writing and approved by the superintendent, principal, athletic director or other designated representative. Note: Officials shall not be scratched the day of the game, except by mutual consent of both schools. A copy of the letter must be submitted to the other school and the officiating chapter. (2) When officials who have been previously agreed upon by both teams are scratched, the school scratching the officials shall pay them the fee they would have received had they worked the game minus any travel expenses and shall also pay the additional travel costs in obtaining new officials.

(3) UIL discourages indiscriminate scratching of entire chapters except in cases when potential problems could result with fans and/or school employees. (4) Officiating chapters should be fair in their game assignments, offering smaller schools the opportunity to use higher level officials when possible. (5) When officials do not show, or when the pre- viously agreed upon officials do not show and the game has to be rescheduled, the chapter shall be responsible for the rescheduled game fee, unless it is determined by the school that an emergency arose beyond the control of the officials.
