I basically work for five different assignors for high school varsity and it isn't as chaotic as one might think. Three of the five meet before sending out contracts to officials, so they prevent overlaps there. I get contracts from those three and one other late in February, accept or reject the dates individually, send the contracts back in along with the availability sheet. The fifth guy gets what's left over as far as dates, as do any JV tournaments, etc. Not too bad since they don't ask for availability sheets before sending out first wave of games, they assume you are wide open and if they hit a date where you aren't you just reject that particular date and accept the rest. Then a month later you get the second wave of calls to fill in for the "rejects" based on the availability sheet you provided. Clear as mud?
