You have a "problem" that is totally foreign to officials in my neck of the woods (western MA). I never ever get to choose my partner for any game at the high school level or above. All officials are assigned by a central "booking agent". This includes assignments for boys and girls high school games, as well as men's college (Div 2 and 3) and junior college games. I don't have any experience with women's college games, so I can't speak to that. In fact, now that I think about it, it's also true for almost all of the kids' leagues in the area as well. When I take one of those games, I show up at the right time, and whoever has the other striped shirt is who I work with. (Although for a HS or college game, I know who my partner will be ahead of time.)
Are you talking about high school games? I know that in some areas of the country officials get their own game assignments. In a situation like that, do you go into the "contract" knowing that your chosen partner will be the other official?
Just curious.
