Appreciate your Assignors

[Mark Padgett]

Among other duties, I was the assignor for our local kids rec league for about 15 years. The big advantage to this was scheduling for myself the games that were the most convenient and also being able to decide who my partner would be for each game.

I also spent time going to other games in our league to do evals.

I train and assign our Church league too. So far I have only worked 1 day of church games. Hoping to keep it that way if I can get officials.

Appreciating the hands that feed you is the least you can do.

We have one assignor that handles 110 or so officials, for middle school, JV, and high school. I always wondered if that number of officials in the norm for one assignor.

I assigned a small Christian School Jr High and HS league several years ago. About 15 teams total. At that time, I did it for no compensation. Being able to choose my assignments and my partners was about the only benefit I got.
And this was in the days before email and Arbiter. I did everything with paper and pencil, through mail and landline phone calls.

Don't want or need those headaches anymore....
