I agree that calling to complain will not help.

But I do think both you and your assignor would benefit from a "What can I do to improve and make sure I get playoff games in the future" talk. He may have some constructive criticism that helps you, and he may be privy to something you are not aware of (maybe you angered someone in power through a misunderstanding that you can clear up... who knows). But mostly, it shows the assignor that A) you are professional and not bitter at the seeming snub, B) you are motivated to improve, and C) you are interested in working these higher level games. That will stick in his mind the next time around.
