I love picking up games!

I have never refused a game.

I have never turned a game back in.

Both would be impossible in our system as people ask us to work games all the time at the same time as other games. And when weather becomes an issue turning back games or refusing to work games is also common. Of course I would not make a habit to turn back games, but it happens for all kinds of personal and professional reasons.

I don't make a habit of either. Locally, we only have one HS assigner, and the ms assigners all work through arbiter as well, so we don't get double booked.
Due to family issues, I had to turn some back last week, but stuff happens. I've volunteered to do doubles and even triples this year, and been quick to respond.

The Arbiter has definitely changed things for sure. Not much of an issue at the HS level anymore with conflicts and double booking as every assignor in the Chicago area are tied into the same system to view who is open and closed dates. That does not include college or other levels so that is where the conflicts can come into play here.

Arbiter rules. I only work for two assigners, one assigns me all my high school games, and the other assigns me Catholic middle school games. My Catholic middle school assigner can "see" my high school schedule, thus avoiding conflicts. Even though my high school assigner can't "see" my Catholic middle school assignments, whenever I get a new high school assignment, like a fill-in assignment, on a night when I already have a Catholic middle school assignment, I can email, or call, my Catholic middle school assigner and turn back his game, even at the last minute, no problem, no repercussions. It's a great system.
