Arbiter rules. I only work for two assigners, one assigns me all my high school games, and the other assigns me Catholic middle school games. My Catholic middle school assigner can "see" my high school schedule, thus avoiding conflicts. Even though my high school assigner can't "see" my Catholic middle school assignments, whenever I get a new high school assignment, like a fill-in assignment, on a night when I already have a Catholic middle school assignment, I can email, or call, my Catholic middle school assigner and turn back his game, even at the last minute, no problem, no repercussions. It's a great system.
