Your ranking determines your Varsity schedule, every Varsity game in the state is assigned by the SCHSL (high school athletic asso.) using The Arbiter. No local assignors. It is a great system. We have all been assigned scrimmages locally to get ready for the season which starts November 30.

That's definitely some coordination. Interesting that the "book knowledge" weighs so heavily on your assignments. For some, it's really easy to take a written rules test, but hard to actually use/apply those rules on the court.
