Lightbulb DanIvey, Good Lord.

That sounds way to complicated for me. Why do you just not give people who are availible games at the level that they able to work. You guys seem to make scheduling way too complicated.

In my State in and in my area, there is a pecking order depending on the assignor. But in the Chicago area alone, there has to be about 20 different assignors for all the conferences. Each has their guys or gals and hires who they want for certain games, and if you are acceptable in the particular conference (depends on the conference too) you do a few games. It is really not that complicated. I am sure the assignors do not feel that way, but it is obvious who gets the big games by the experience and talent, but some assignors do not have that much choice.

As I said their is a pecking order of some kind, and certain officials are going to do the so called big games all the time. Some are going to get the tournament games or at least the big tournament games (Proviso West Tournament Championship for example) and the rest are going to be doing the "lower" level games. We only have two classes, so their is not always a big deal made by the the classes. Because at least in the Chicago area, most schools are AA (big schools) unless you are talking about a couple leagues like the Catholic Leagues all over the area. Most of those schools are class A, and getting in the Chicago Catholic League is as hard as any to do a varsity game. I am sure there is more to it, but that scratches some of the surface.
