Availabity and ability both have a lot to do with it. The schedulers in my area have a lot of games to fill and if you worked for them before and have no major complaints about the way you handled past games you should be able to get some decent games. I've been working softball for 3 years and I made myself available to two different assigners and came up with 65 games of which 20 are JV and 30 are varsity. I had my schedule filled by the end of last November. They remember who helped them out of jam and who else they can rely on. You could almost guarantee they will be taken care of. One of my assigners has a game to fill this weekend and is looking for a taker. I wouldn't want an assigners job for all the tea in China.
