There is no reason each individual game contract couldn't include restrictions on certain activities for a certain number of hours before the actual game. As it is, they probably include arrival times that are well before the actual game time.

I'd bet that it is rarely the case that their is only one assignor for EVERYTHING in one area. There may be one for HS ball as it is here, but if someone doesn't like it, they can work non-HS ball (there are plenty of different assignors for that) or, for HS ball, can drive to the next town...a few people do that.
