That's kind of unfair, Tony. IAABO doesn't have rules in place regarding fines for missing assignments or rules for assignors who mess up. The AD's in a given IAABO territory generally choose the assignor; the assignor is paid by the AD's. The assignor makes his/her own rules regarding turn-backs, etc.

If the membership of the local IAABO board is dissatisfied with the assignor, they can do one of at least two things. They can tell the AD's from whom they contract that they will not accept assignments from the current assignor. Or they can propose their own candidate for the assignor's position when it's time to renew the assignor's "contract" with the AD's.

Obviously, they could also go directly to the assignor and discuss the situation with him/her.

All of these things would be done through the association's Executive Committee.

Yes, it's true that you don't deal with this kind of issue when you solicit your own games directly from the AD's. But there is a down side to that, too. Having a central assignor has its plusses and minuses; but I think that none of them is a direct result of IAABO rules.
