All changes are made through the association assignors. The schools contact these people and they in turn contact the referees and pass along the needed information.

I don't know how many times I can say this so this will be the last.

What you say applies to *you*. It does not apply to everyone.

The method you use is no better or worse than any other method. If you have to deal with the AD's office then you do it. If not then you don't.

I deal with them and in my experience it's not a big deal.
