I only have to work within the Arbiter system and I still make sure all my contests are on my Google calendar. When I get a contract offer, I check Google first to make sure I'm open before I accept. Then I immediately add the contest to the Goog.

I've caught a couple of issues doing this:
1. I've had contracts disappear from Arbiter with no notification that they were cancelled. I checked my e-mail for the confirmation when I accepted and I definitely had the correct date on the calendar. Upon contacting the AD/assignor, he's confirmed that he did not cancel it and asked me to keep the date for him. Luckily, the other AD/assignor understood when I had to decline because he's experienced similar weirdness.
2. I had an AD send me a HS contest and then a few months later assign me a JH contest at the same date/time and location. Don't know how that happened or how Arbiter allowed it.
