Like I said, I don't have time for that. I just fill out my availability and then my schedule is filled by our assignor. Simple one-stop shopping. I don't have time to deal with several phone calls or e-mails. My time is more valuable than the assigning fee I pay.

All I do is send availability sheets to those that request them or return email from those requesting games for the next year. Not sure that takes a lot of time. It is also not unusual that I get called to work games and fill my schedule. All I have to do is answer the phone. I just got 2 games today and I did not even know they were coming. If your name is listed with an organization or you are well known, assignors call you. I do not have to pay anyone to simply answer the phone or respond to an email.

Why does it not surprise me that you do not care if others get offended. Just more ignorance. All the officials I talk to around here prefer to have their expenses deducted from their check at the end of the year. I prefer it that way too. Any expenses I pay to my association are well worth it.

I did not see you so concerned about my opinion on some words I felt were out of line. But then again, I did not expect you to either. You basically called me names and questioned my value to this site. Now you want me to get all teary eyed because I used a phrase that not only I have the right to use, but describes your system perfectly in my opinion? Beatings were not the biggest part of slavery. I think you watched too many Roots reruns. Slavery was about control and taking advantage of people. That is what that fee seems to do in my opinion. Do you know what “my opinion” means?

Of course you are not going to find many people that do not like the system. If they do not know any better, they will go with the herd of sheep and not make waves. You have the right to spend your money they way you like, that does not mean the rest of us have to say it is a good idea. It is obvious that I am not the only one that feels that way. Just read the other posts.

Peace
