1) Please take your referee population and the number of assignors and divide them and post the number.

There are somewhere around 4000-5000 officials state wide that work basketball (last figure I heard). In most of Northern Illinois to the Chicago land area, there are probably 10-15 assignors. There are almost no associations that have an assignor that works exclusively for them. I know most of the Class AA Schools throughout the state have assignors (Big Schools). Assignors can hire whom ever they want to if they feel they are qualified.

As I stated we do not have associations (we do not call them chapters) that have little or anything to do with assigning. Assignors might belong to an association, but they use whomever they want to. Some assignors use software, others do not. Assigning software is becoming more and more common. I probably have to register for about 4 assigning websites for this reason.
