1. W-9’s and Independent Contractor agreements must be filled out and completed for all officials (If you already completed and submitted these forms, you do not have to complete another). Scan the W-9 and email to the LIAHL Treasurer Tom Duggan E-mail : tduggan@aaiinsurance.com  and MHHOA Secretary Domenic Zecca domenic@alescavideo.com (The MHHOA secretary only gets the independent contractor agreement in addition to the W-9) you will not be  paid unless s a W-9 is on file. You can get these forms on the www.liahl.com or the MHHOA website http://mhhoa.tripod.com/index/index.html.  There are other forms that also need to be completed and can be found on each of the websites noted.

2.  If you must cancel a game assignment, you must do so as soon as possible but in no case less than 3 days before your game. Once you accept an assignment it is your responsibility to make your assignments. Canceling because you are sick is unacceptable; if you feel a cold coming on, cancel 3 days prior! You must inform the scheduler of the name of your replacement. Any and all cancelations, substitutions or switching any games are subject to $2.00 cancellation fee, NO Exceptions! 
3. You will be notified if your game is canceled due to weather or other unforeseen conditions. If you are not notified, the game is on and you are to show up. If you show up and there is no game, you will be paid according to the MHHOA policy only if you notify the scheduler.
4. All game sheets must be reviewed for accuracy prior to printing your name AND signing the score sheet. All game misconducts or any other ejections must be noted clearly and distinctly on the score sheet. Keep a copy of the score sheet for your records, as you may need to provide additional information and describe in detail any game misconduct. Report game misconducts to the appropriate parties noted herein.
