How are you assinged games?

In this part of New York, all of the high schools in the county allow the local BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) to handle the assigning. There are probably 50-60 schools that all get assigned together. The ADs and the assigning office can see who the officials are.

However, the officials get notification of assignments by mail (like USPS mail, not e-mail). If there is a change, then the change is sent via mail. We have to accept each change by mailing a form back or faxing it in.

For one game, I got the assignment four times. Original assignment at school A at 4:30. Assignment 2 game switched to school B at 4:30. Assignment 3 game switched to school B middle school gym at 4:30 (I got assignment 2 and 3 in the mail the same day -- I was confused). Assignment 4 game switched back to school A at 10:30 AM. So I got 4 different notices in the mail for this one assignment.

Apparently next year, they are going to start assigning online. It's about time.

Thanks, I purposely wrote 20th Century.....(hence the sarc).

Just can't believe in this day and age folks are still using snail-mail. How timely. Wow! Glad they're finally moving forward.

Thanks as always for the keen eye Nevada. I'm sure with my poor grammar and punctuation I'll be caught many more times!
