Of course I say yes, they say they will send me a schedule next week. I didn't dare give them dates I couldn't work seeing how I have been waiting for these calls for a while now...... When I receive my schedule is it right to call my other assignor who already gave me the sub varsity schedule and give the games back?? Or should I tell the assignor with the varsity games that I can't work certain dates?? anyway, I am babbling, you get the jest of what I am getting at..Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
I believe and so does my local association and assignors that once you accept a game, it is yours. "Giving back" games for "better games" is a practice around here that is greatly frowned upon and will get you black listed very easily. I'm not saying it still doesn't occur but it is not a good thing. I would tell the assignor that you are unavailable because of prior commitments. I think that assignors look at this is favorite since you show that you are loyal and won't ditch them for the "next best thing".

Work as many varsity games as possible and show your stuff. More varsity games will pour in for future seasons. Just my two cents
