Monthly D1 Assigning?

Which is the way my high school assigner did it last (COVID) year, assigning games only days, or hours, in advance.

Again there are no last-minute assignments at the D1 level. They have all the time in the world and expectation that their games are going to be covered. Unless you are an NBA official, you are not making more money than a D1 official for each game. And unlike many high school or even lower-level college officials, guys and gals are getting on planes to officiate in many parts of the region or taking 4 to 7-hour drives to games for checks with a comma. Nothing last minute about what an assignor is doing. They are later this year because there are some challenges with who can work and where they can go because of the conference and school protocols. Kind of like the situation in the NBA where only vaccinated players, coaches, and officials can work games in New York. But again we are a month away from the season really being started at the D1 level. So nothing is last minute at this stage.
