Carpooling To Games
Hey guys. I went to our 1st meeting of the year and one thing we discussed was about the gas situation. Several years ago we started using Arbiter, as of now the crew for each game can only see their partners. So the question was asked if the V crew could some how contact the JV crew( or vice versa) so there could be some carpooling to their games.I found out tonight the only way that could be done was to open up the schedule of every game to all officials, in which we have not done for 3 years now.So my question to this forum is what or how does your association do to help situations like this,Our board does not really want to open the schedule to all officials. Thanks

We are encouraged to carpool whenver possible, but JV & V do not do so. I did once a couple of seasons ago with the guy who lives down the street. I had the JV & he had the V at a school 15 miles from here. Anyone can see the schedule.

Associations do not assign us games, assignors do in my area. And unless I live close on in the same area of the officials that I am working with, carpooling would be difficult. Even if you live in relatively the same area, we are not coming from the same place. I cannot always structure my travel to games based only on where I live. I might be in other places because of my real job. And it would be really hard to drive with officials working a game earlier than I am scheduled. Unless the assignor strictly puts people together that live or work that close, I do not see how for a high school game this is really possible most of the time.
Peace

I agree with the previous posters. JV and varsity crews riding together doesn't make sense for us. Yes, gas is expensive. But I'm not leaving two hours earlier just to save $10 on gas.

I think your only hope would be to contact Arbiter and ask for an "enhancement" that allows officials to see their partners and any other officials at their site for a particular day. I think that would be a rather complex enhancement so don't hold your breath. (Our groups have been unsuccessful at getting Arbiter support to make even the slightest enhancement requests). Both of our associations were concerned that opening up Arbiter for all to see would create the "Joe got a better schedule than I did" problem. One of our associations finally opened it up and it has not been a problem. Even with that Arbiter feature open, JV and V officials do not ride together. Many of our varsity officials go early to observe the JV game. However, asking them to get there even earlier (so the JV officials could pregame etc.) would be too much.

I save gas going to games by riding my skateboard. If another official wants to hop on and share the ride, that's cool with me.

Wonder if we could arrange a game sometime. It'd be a considerably longer drive for me, though. |
