Having a college schedule doesn't count against a member's availability. Neither do work, family, or health (illness, injury) related issues. Blocking off games to make oneself available for town recreation games every Monday night, or for travel games every Saturday, or for Wednesday bowling night with the guys will count against you.
The commissioners availability rating also takes into consideration many things that make his job easier: keeping Arbiter calendar updated and current, listing correct e-mail address and phone numbers, listing cell phone first, photo of official (face not body) on Arbiter, number of missed assignments, accepting minimum assignments, number of turnbacks, submitting rating sheets by due date, etc.
Some people are very irresponsible and have to be reminded several times regarding deadlines.
