[/QUOTE]Is he/she voted in?[/QUOTE] Yes

[/QUOTE]Or just given the job by those he gives the best games to, including him/herself?[/QUOTE] No

[/QUOTE]How many terms / years is your assignor’s term before having to either be re-elected or appointed?[/QUOTE] Don't know

[/QUOTE]Is the system fair in your area?[/QUOTE] Yes, we get a chance to work in front of the assigning committee and ratings committee.

[/QUOTE]If you don’t feel the system is fair, is it because you aren’t given an opportunity?

Or is it because he/she just gives them self and their close friends the best games?

Shouldn’t the assignor ONLY be working basic games, be given a strict 1-2 terms, and be required to evaluate all officials, so that they TRULELY know who to assign what games to?

While NOT being partial !!!![/QUOTE]
How about developing a system that rates each game based on team's strength and level of play and other factors, have a ratings, assigning, and evaluating committee serving officials to rank and qualify officials to work rated games. The higher the rated officials, the more qualifed the official to work the highly rated games. Other factors include but not limited to times worked highly rated games, highly rated teams, availability, and the such.
