In the sense that if they want to call an assignor and make comments, they can - but very seldom does that have any appreciable effect on who gets what playoff games and where. And they certainly aren't casting votes or filling out ballots, or hiring officials directly like apparently happens where you folks are. That's the point I was trying to make.

Input is one thing. Acting on that input is another. We all get a lot of the former - but the latter...?

Our system must seem downright dictatorial to you folks,eh?
