The crew will return intact next season and we ended with a nice first round game this year. Hopefully, next year, we'll do even better.

It's actually not that bad. Once your on a crew, your on that crew for the year, unless you get hurt or do so something so monumentally stupid that your fired during the year.
I work 3 different leagues in the Philadelphia area. Each league has a different assignor that I work for and its own set of officials that work the league. The assignor will put crews together from the pool of officials that work their league. Typically, if the crew doesn't screw up anything too bad the assignor will keep the crew together the following year.
One of my assignors will put out a crew list, but rarely uses that crew together because of availaility issues. The officials that work his league, also work other leagues in the area. He works around this by assigning his games last. So the "crew" might not work together, but he will use the "crew" work the league. As crazy as that sounds, I don't mind this set up, because a majority of the officials from this organization are just better officials and I don't mind working with any of them...
