I love picking up games!

We have conference assignors and ADs (who assign most nonconference games). I like the system. I work as much as I want. Those who won't email or contact a commissioner or AD and wait for people to call them are the same people who don't work. Me? I'll break 60 varsity and above this season for the first time. You can't be afraid to ask for games - not everyone says yes, but many will give you a shot and if you can work you will.

When I worked for a central assignor my dates were at his whim. Some weeks lots of games, others 1 or 2. Took care of his "boys". No thanks. This way I can lose one assignor for whatever reason and it doesn't affect more than a handful of games.

That said, I'm already planning my scaling back for 2013-14. I'm going to be very selective in what I take and hope I can get enough boys games to make me happy. If I work 30 games, I think I'll be OK. With baseball and football, I do enough officiating as it is.
