I guess that I am lucky in the fact that I only have 1 assignor -- actually 1 for HS and 1 for rec ball, but the same association. We do not individually contract with a school. Our association does all contracting. We give the HS assignor a "close-out" sheet in early August (our AA girls play in the fall) and again in late Nov. or early Dec. I receive a schedule for "fall ball", one for Dec. to mid-Jan, and one for the remainder of the season. Tourney time is handled separate. The rec assignor takes whatever days are vacant, but HS ball takes precedent, at least for me. Although, we have some officials (usually newbies) that do not do HS ball. Not sure I would want to work for more than 1 assignor.

What happen if you fall out of favor with that one assignor? What if you have to give back a game for a very legitimate reason, and he gets made at you and assigns you very little the next time?
Yes it can be a pain to have more than one assignor, but at least you have options. I only get about 2 or 3 from each. And believe me that is enough. Work too much more, than you have more possibilities of messing up or hearing complaints from coaches, or any other thing that can go wrong. I like it they way I have it, because I can scratch them just as well as they scratch me. I like options.

Good points. My assignor is a "she" actually. It is very rare that I turn back a game and she is pretty understanding about it, especially if it a "legitimate" reason. The assignor seems to like me for some reason - I expect it is because I am very flexible with my work schedule. My boss and I have been friends for about 25 years and I can take off any time I want to because he knows I will come in early, stay late, or take it home to do. The assignor knows I will work any game she assigns to me. The longest distance I have to travel is 65 miles one way. Because I can/will do these games without griping and complaining (as a lot of our officials do), she rewards me with some of the better games. That may not be right, but that is how she assigns. Some of our officials tell her they don't want to do a game because it is a girls, bad teams, too far to drive, don't like the coach, whatever. I take what she assigns. We only have about 3-4 assocications in this area: ours, IABBO board in DC that also does Maryland, and 2 others that really don't have very good officials. If it gets to the point that I start getting a lot of "bad games", I might change my mind. As it stands now, I am satisfied with it.
