If a commissioner contacts the head of our association to get officials for varsity contests - a 3 man committee of experienced officials in the association assign them to the people who have enough officiating experience - that they feel would do a good job, and usually to partners if possible. There have been times when partners have been split because one was not yet ready for that level of play. Other times - partners may split for an evening if one or the other has some type of conflict with a particular team. example - I was once assigned to do a varsity game for the school I work for. I called the commisioner and explained I had a conflict. He called the association president and he and I did one game, my partner and his partner did the other at my school. It all works pretty well.

You're in a different area of WI than me, cause our association assigns nothing.
You're right -- the commissioners are the assignors. Only nonconference games are assigned by the schools where I live.
I have ten of them instead of one and it means I don't have to tolerate if one of them does something unacceptable. I can work out my contracts and not schedule with those assignors again.
