How does your Assoc handle this?

[Suudy]

And for our state, each association decides how to form crews. The association I was previouly in, the executive board of our association put together the crews at the start of every season. Each year the crews were mixed. In my new association, there are no crews. Each and every week our assigning secretary puts together the crews.

I preferred the former. I think it allows the crew to gel better. Constantly shifting crews makes for irregular expectations. If, for example, you know how your U or BJ works, it makes things smoother. Shifting gears each week makes it tough. However, it does help come the playoffs, because it helps you mesh better when you get a mix of officials in the post-season.
