Larks, you have to ask your self the same question that the assignors ask.

"I have guys who I know can call and who have worked for me for years. Why would I give games to a guy I've never seen before?"

You can't just expect them to give you games because you send in a schedule. Have they seen you work? If not, you're not going to get many games until they do. Do you know an official who has a real good relationship with one of these assignors? If you have an opportunity to work with him, ask him to put in a good word for you.

It's a shame to say it but in this business, many times it's who you know, not what you know.

Good luck!
