If you are working for example hs / juco / D2 / D2 all on the same website here is what happens.......

Let say you have taken a juco game for Supervisor Billy Mac ( I know would never happen ). Even if you don't close out the game with your other supervisors here is what happens if I (they) were to go into the arbiter to give you a college game.

An assigner using arbiter can choose from the following when assigning games

Available officials or Potential Officiials

AO are officials that have NO restrictions in getting to that game...This is the guy that can go anywhere any time. Also in an unrelated subject names will appear based on the number of assignments you currently have. So if East is playing west and Juggling Ref has 50 assignments and Bad New Ref has 3,
BNR name will come up first and then everybody between BNR and JR.

Most assigners use the Available Officials option beacuase there is no reason that these guys should turn game back...YOU will not appear on the
AO list EVEN if you dont block out the date because you have accepted a hs game.

If you don't block the date, you will only appear on the Potential Officials list....this tells me that you have some sort of issue that will make things a bit difficult ( you have a hs game you need to get out of)

Why as an assigner would i want to choose from porential if i know you have some sort of "issue"

NOW........if you used [email protected] for your hs assigner and taken that game and used [email protected] for your D2 league, I would see you as open with no restrictions every time I wanted to give you an assignment.

Most guys I know that work small college basketball have a seperate hs arb account /
a juco arb account / D2 arb account / and if working D1 a seperate account....all with different e-mail addresses.....

This way the guy higher up always sees you as open with no restrictions....

....

Thanks for that. Thinking I will add a new GMAIL account for this.

Question: I had been using the option NOT TO SHARE my high school assignments with my college supervisors. Does this still show me as "Potential" instead of "Available"?

No matter the answer, I'm going add a new account just for my HS stuff.

I knew you had a purpose here

In my experiences, not all supervisors are fond of this approach.

Which approach, having separate accounts for high school and college supervisors?

or

not sharing my high school schedule with my college supervisors?

Using separate email accounts for each supervisor/assignor.

Not doing 1 for each supervisor, I said 1 for my HS supervisors and 1 for my college supervisors.

Pro-Tip: You can use a + sign after your Gmail and it will still come to you ... this might allow you to create multiple accounts, but with the same email address.

If your email is [email protected] — you can use [email protected] for your high school and [email protected] for your college games ... and so on.

It does work but some sites will not let you enter such an email address in their system. I use such addresses with my gmail accounts to guard against spam but some sites reject it as an invalid address.

Look, don't try to outgeek me Rust!!

You're right, of course … I generally use [email protected] for that very reason.

Ok, we've reached NERDCON 2 … time to pump the brakes!

Interesting, thanks. One more question: how do I show up if I have a certain time blocked?

You come up on the potential list....and that is only on games you can get to within the time frame allowed based on your block you put in....

If my college schedule is better next year, I won't know if it will be because of your info or my skills.....LOL

[Multiple Sports]

You will never know but, you will appear on the arbiter as available to your college assigners everytime you have a hs game.....

Now to get more games just suck up to every college coach that comes to BWSC this summer ...........wait Im sure you have been doing that for years !!!!

BTW - what'sup with the concession prices there...that is highway robbery !!!!
