Careful with this. The Arbiter's reminder email function has not been working for me (and every official I know) since Dec. 20.

One of my assigners sent out a warning about this...but not all. I got an "emergency call" yesterday to fill in for someone who did not show up. I did not get the details as to why, but the email reminders for this assigner are not working.

There is no standard here (where we work for assignors, not associations), but I always contact my partner if I know who it is.
