You would likely violate some laws here if that was the set up here as associations could assign, but they would likely get in trouble if they controlled people's assignments in one place. It is more than paying them, it is giving them the work alone that is the problem and is associated with controlling someone's schedule. That is why we have assignors that work for the conferences and they can hire anyone they want. This was actually made sure this was the case by taking out of LOA Constitutions to have anything to do with hiring for games.
