Our association does not allow us to do ANY games unless we are given the game by our assignors. That means ANY games... whether it be little league, pony league, Babe Ruth, American Legion, Modified, JV, and Varsity. That is why we join an association. That is how we get games here in Central NY.
That sounds a little too controlling. I cannot block time to do any non-asociation games, and when my time is not blocked, I must be available for association games, even on short notice. But if I give the association availability and it does not give me a game, I can accept other games. Bottom line, if they want me, they've got me. If they don't, I'm free to work elsewhere. As a practical matter, I generally call my assignor and tell him that I'm not scheduled, and if he doesn't need me, I may pick up a local game. That way he still has the last opportunity if something comes up.
