Assignments and Payment

[JMN]

Just curious.

Our association assigns games every 2 weeks during the season. You go to the meeting, discuss plays/rules/other business and then get paid from the previous 2 weeks games and then get your assignments for the next 2 weeks. We work individual assignments (not crews) and have the opportunity to accept or reject a game on the schedule.

I know other associations schedule the entire season and then post a master schedule so that you know what games you have, where you will be, and who you're working with.

What's the best way based on everyone's experience? Are there other methods that work better than either of the ones above?
