Our Association has a "conflict of interest" clause written directly into our constitution.You cannot accept a game if you are an employee of the school/organization that hires us,have a relative involved with the team,have any business reationship with the school/organization,etc.All officials must declare these conflicts-of -interest to the assigner at the start of each year.The assigner then keeps people away from possible problems(unless it's a real emergency).It seems to be working fairly well,as we get few complaints of this type.It's also good for the individual official.It keeps them out of a no-win situation.
