The reason that is where I live, associations do not give games. If they do, they open themselves up for violating independent contractor laws and might be liable for more than they are willing to be. Assignors are hired by the conferences and if the assignor likes you, that is all that matters. What I am reading from this post is that these are policies from associations or groups of officials. And that lends to more rules that should not apply. Our local associations are for training and training only. Yes there are assignor that might attach themselves to an association closely, but there are no by-laws that dictate who works and when. There might be by-laws that affect membership, but membership in an association (or level of membership) does not affect how you are hired.
