I did not say you were not clear, I just find that odd.

Where I live we might have an assignor that gives us games, but the schools still are in contact with the officials for confirmation of many aspects of what takes place the day of the game. Sometimes they need to have information so they can pay us. Or officials contact them just to make sure they have all the idea of what is going on.

When you have gone to a site and more officials show up than needed or a game is cancelled, I would rather rely on the school to confirm information of any significant or last minute changes. And in my area weather is a major concern sometimes and I do not expect an assignor (who officiates as well) to be the contact person for last minute issues.
