Also, anything optional won't cut it with some of our more"irresponsible" officials. The Arbiter partner-partner rating is not an option, it must be done at the expense of losing games next year. I will discuss this option with my assigner at our banquet this week.

Here, it's simple. JV official gets his schedule. JV official goes into the master schedule to see who is working the varsity games after his JV games. JV official emails request to appropriate varsity officials. Varsity official emails back that he's honored and goes into arbiter to self-assign.

Note: "he" = "he or she"
