The leagues will dictate, "if you want to work 10 boys games, you also must work 10 girls games." A take it or leave it package. Your choice will be to work both or none.

Actually Stan the way it works is that the leagues will continue to schedule through assignors. It will be the assignors who determine who gets what games. Even if you are lucky enough to get a full season schedule in advance you still have the opportunity to give back any dates that conflict with your desired OPEN dates.

After the politics of the vets getting the choice assignments, the rest of us will get offered games as they become available. The more flexible you are with your assignor, the higher standing you may gain; thus in the long run you will get your choice assignments such as all Varsity or all Boys', etc.

Now....the MHSAA could put a requirement for tournament assignments qualifying that an official have 5 boys/5 girls to further augment the current 10 games of Varsity eligibility.
