8. Changes to Scheduling ARBITER has implemented these changes in recognition that you are an “independent contractor” Prior affect: a posted assignment– in essence “blocked” you from other assignors –Assignor’s modus operandi -- “Who was first to schedule” –Referee’s MO – “Job shop games” Current affect: With the “Options” selected, all assignors will be able to add assignments –Assignors – Intelligent scheduling (Heavy days – skill mix) –Referees - More opportunities – timely decisions

9. Scheduling Changes - What Happens ?? Overlapping game assignments can be posted –Assignments are open until you accept one –Once accepted ARBITER blocks access to the other games Now even though you have an “accepted” game –other assignors are allowed to add games –If conflicting it shows up outlined in red –Arbiter won’t allow you change assignments that conflict without contacting the original assignor –Other assignors can’t clear an accepted assignment

10. What CSOA & Other Assignors Need –Updated Availability – Check often & Timely –Earliest possible acceptance decisions Policy - We’re Implementing and Why –Need to accommodate you, while protecting the schools –If you’re not accepting games, you may lose them –If switching occurs too often – opportunities won’t be made available –Can’t/Won’t accommodate switches on accepted CSOA games on published heavy days –Can’t/Won’t accommodate switches on accepted CSOA games within 48 hours of game date What CSOA needs you to do!!!
