Assignor and active umpire

[Elaine "Lady Blue"]

Well, I did it for 2 years, and while the $$ was good, it was a pain in the a$$. If someone cancelled at the last minute and no replacement could be found, I had to do the game.

In my last association, we had a board that appointed the assignor. The assignor then passed out a form that everyone had to fill out with their 'Out' days and preferences. He then booked the entire season at one time.
Changes could be made without a fine if done 48 hrs in advance. He was as fair as everyones out days, experience and preferences would allow, and there wasn't much complaining. He also tried to work special deals for us, and helped with switching assignments. It's a hard and time consuming job, but I think that you might do ok Andy!
