We work as a crew and not part of an assoc. In Nebraska the school activities association schedules all football games. They took this over about 4 years ago to ensure that district opponents played each other and that the weak teams didn't dodge the stronger ones.

They schedule games for a two year period, so in February of '04 they released the schedule and then it became a feeding frenzy of AD's calling crews and assigning games. We had our '04 and '05 schedule in a matter of about half an hour. It will happen again next winter for 2006-2007. Some calls are for great games, some not so great. Then for the next day or two you get the occasional call from an AD who couldn't fill a particular date.
