Deletions

That is between the assignor and the schools. No association has say over that. Each conference or assignor has their own rules or practices to handle that. Or the same applies to the schools that do their assigning. It is based on what they want to do or not to do.

Peace

Same here. But Jeff is in IL and I am in WI where in many areas the assigning is done directly through schools and leagues/conferences. While there are officiating associations, they have no role in any assignments or determining who gets them. And where I am, membership in an association is completely voluntary. All you need to do is submit an application with money to the state office, take one or two open book NFHS exams, and work a certain number of varsity contests to be in the highest tier for your sport. Oh, and since they limit how fast you can climb the ladder, be here for a while.
