Nope. Our association gets all of/a share of the games from a handful of conferences, at all levels from Jr High up to Varsity, and then our assigner doles them out to the officials in our association based upon experience, ability, availability, willingness to travel, how many times you've worked a game for that school already, etc.

I also do some rec league stuff, with a different assignor, and some travel-team stuff with 2 different assignors. I've told all four of them that the first assigner to schedule me for a game is the assignor whose game I will be working on that day.
