ASSIGNMENTS & SELF-ASSIGN

The initial round of assignments are sent to returning officials that have worked a league in the past. We then send out assignments to new officials who indicated on their applications that they'd also like to work a regular league. Finally, we open up remaining assignments to be claimed through Arbiter under the SCHEDULE>Self Assign tab for all officials to fill their schedule with available league dates.

To claim an open league night, log into Arbiter > go to the SCHEDULE tab > select the SELF ASSIGN sub tab > review the open dates > click the [Go] button to claim the slot. Claimed slots then appear under SCHEDULE > Calendar along with your other assignments.

NOTE: Your calendar must be free of any BLOCKS on that date in order to see open dates on the SELF ASSIGN sub tab.
