In my state all games are scheduled through the referee associations. There are three for the entire state. It is divided up geographically.
The ADs have no need to contact an individual referee about anything. Thus they don't need to have access to our phone numbers, email addresses, or physical addresses. 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.

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.

I agree. Dan must be quite tired. He can't even keep track of which poster wrote those words. In fact, I did back in post #10. I can only guess that 181174 attempted to quote me when expressing how things are done in southern Indiana (which I already knew btw ) which he later deleted by editting his message, but Dan got confused and felt compelled to respond yet again.

Perhaps this is a good example of how emails from multiple contacts to an official could lead to confusion.
