When on the the games page, you'll find a "Quick Links" menu right under the logo in the top left. It will have many of the commonly used searches: My Games, My Unaccepted Games, Next 7 Days, etc. You can use the "Game Search" for more advanced searches but most officials never need that.

(c) If I do not accept, then I have to go back in later to "confirm" that the assigner has removed me -- this step seems unnecessary.

I have updated the site to address this. Now, clicking links to games in emails will, if necessary, switch you to the correct organization and go to the entry for that game. It will only work for links in emails sent from now forward. The link within the email needed to be changed in order to make it work.

Thanks for that idea. I'm sure that will be appreciated my many.

There are some options under your profile under Calendar Preferences that control how the entries are formatted....what goes in the description and what goes in the location line as well as how much to pad the start time to account for travel/pregame.

Do those options cover what you wanted? If not, what else are wanting to do?

Note that you can export your schedule to Excel which is a small step from a CSV....and you can do anything you want from there.

Keep the suggestions coming! I get the best ideas from users....particularly newer users who don't know the site inside and out.
