Arbiter and the Over-riding of Blocks.

I replaced them as quickly as I could and wondered what happened.

Apparently, it wasn't just me. Now, I'm curious if there was some sort of glitch in Arbiter.

Some? There have been several this year. One of them we had during volleyball season was all the sites for our assigner somehow ended up being at one venue. The AD couldn't figure out why all of the sudden volleyball matches from a hundred miles away were in his gym, or why he had 100 matches in his gym at the same time.

The one I found was similar, the site was ok, but the sub site was switched. Difficult to have a swim meet inside the gym.

Sorry to dredge this one up, but anyone know if there's a way to make Site or Partner blocks "firm"?

I've known about the "firm block" function for dates/times for a few seasons -- and I make all my blocks firm now -- but there doesn't appear to be that option for other categories of blocks.

A friend of mine also on the firm-block wagon just got an assignment at a site he's had blocked for more than a year.

Simply put....No. You can't "firm block" sites or partners.
