Posted onAuthorGreg Hite

The Recreation Leagues are starting this weekend.  We are still waiting on all of the game schedules, so please realize that some game assignments will be published over the next few days, which means there will be a limited amount of time to response to any assignment of up to 24 hours.  Assignments will start going out Wednesday February 26, 2020.

Availability

Please review the “Blocks” section of the Arbiter Guide and please make sure your calendar blocks are up to date.

Youth League Game Assignments

Rec League assignments are usually published anywhere from 4-14 days prior to the contest, which means you will have up to 48 hours to accept or declined any assignment. Some assignments could be as soon as the next day.

Assignments can only be accepted/declined in Arbiter, so please do not send texts or emails to the assignors to accept or decline games.

Declining Assignments

Also please don’t just let the system reject a game if you aren’t available.  If you cannot work a pending assignment, please decline the game right away and in the comments/reason section please enter if you are or are not available that day.  If you are available at a different time, please see examples below.
