New Assignor - HELP!

[DaveASA/FED]

Arbiter is great, with one stipulation. I use it as an official but am close to my assigner and it is a wonderful tool for them IF people #1) keep their schedules up to date (block dates they have contracts from other schools/asssigners, or dates they have family or work committements) and 2) check their email often, and respond to the arbiter emails and accept or decline games in a timely manner. We all know someone that has an email address but checks it once a week, month or year!! For the system to be used to its full potential you really have to have people using it's power and its main communication tool is email. Not to say non-email people can't be "worked into" the system of course they can but it requires more work from the assigner to get this done.
