Is it unusual for a league to consistently appoint you a match 2 days before the match or is this okay and acceptable?Varies from comp to comp.
I have whole season's appts for the Womens games and local teams's academy matches.
Isthmian U18s/U23s are issued monthly about the middle of preceding month.
Local youth league issues appointments weekly 6 days before match plus there are numerous request for official's that pop up every week or emails/texts from refs' appointments officers.
County Cup and FA appts (at my level) are normally about 10 days notice.
In summary - it varies a lot!

Hasn’t happened. Was just curious as to what length of notice is normal when emailing out appointments according to the view of all the refs out there. You guys have definitely covered that in your answers. ThanksI appoint to a local Supply League. Generally I try to appoint as far forward as I can. I have late changes and will appoint late if I need to cover those games. I issue a weekly email which covers games for the following 14 days. If you are a new referee, you may not be very high up the list of prospective appointees, so you may be one of the last appointed as a replacement.
Also, when you say "regularly", do you mean it has happened in 8 out of the last 10 weeks or that it has happened 2 weeks in succession?
