Furthermore, you are completely dismissing the inconvenience you would cause whatever replacement that is found for you. 2-3 days' notice gives people very little time to re-arrange their schedule. That's not fair of you to do, Pete.

Jim, the point I'm getting at with all of this is: I am not going to cause my assignor any inconvenience concerning things under my direct control It's not like I'm calling up the assignor and saying "Hey Joe I can't do the game for you tomorrow because a bunch of us are going to the track".

Family and work problems are sometimes out of my control and if you are asking me to choose a game assignment over Family and work well that IMO makes me flabbergasted.

I do not want to get off topic on the original thread so my recommendation to the original poster would be:

Determine your goals

Examine family and Work constraints

Join an association which fits your needs and then be loyal to them.

I am in 2 associations. I am thinking of dropping one this year. One association gives me the flexibility I need. For every game I turn back I give them another in return. In other words, I work with them and they work with me.

The other association I belong to runs like yours does. If you don't give them a week's notice, you get a black mark next to your name.

I dont have any problems during the Summer / Fall ball season.

Ok Jim on to the next topic. BTW, when are you going to repost your essay on Relaxed vs. Unrelaxed action - Thanks
