Yes, each organization prohibits its members from accepting assignments from the other. The large group even prohibits its members from accepting collegiate assignments from the smaller group's assignor.
It's an unfortunate situation where a group of unhappy officials broke with the large organization over a question of where the $$$ went and started the smaller group. It all happened before I became an official, so I went with the group that I thought (and still think) is best for me. Having spoke with folks in both groups, there are still bad feelings to this day over the rift.
