I'm certainly no Arbiter expert, but I do know that when my Catholic middle school assigner (who used Arbiter) wanted to "see" my high school assignments (also on Arbiter) to avoid conflicts, I had to "allow" him to do so by making changes in my Arbiter account settings (that did not allow my high school assigner to "see" my Catholic middle school assignments).

Who knows, maybe there's some type of secret "workaround"?

All depends on how and who has an account. The IHSA for example took over an Arbiter account that we do not have to "pay extra for" to use. So all IHSA schools have access to the site and can assign games, which means their assignors have access to the site and can assign games. That does not allow anyone else to be apart of their account or site. So if you work any other level outside of IHSA games, they have to assign through another Arbiter site. So there is no issue with middle school or college games.

The IHSAA (Indiana) went away from Arbiter for the most part and now use a site called Everlink. It is not really made for assigning games, but it is a school scheduling site, but they have changed settings to assign games. No college assignors use this site so it is literally separated from any college assigning. So basically I can keep those issues away as long as I update all the sites when I get a game from other levels or states.

And I do not do middle school and not doing middle school so that conversation is different from me.

All scholastic assignments are supposed to go through our scholastic assignment commissioner, who uses Arbiter. All Connecticut high schools "load" their schedules into Arbiter, and then after they are "loaded", our assignment commissioner assigns all the games, and all changes (often weather related). And of course, about half of the high schools in our local area pay with Arbiter.

Two years ago some athletic directors discovered that they had the ability, on their own, to reschedule assignments (usually weather related) using Arbiter, totally bypassing our assignment commissioner.

I don't know all the details, but mistakes were made, and our scholastic assignment commissioner was pissed.
