7. “Blocks” - Tab • You are now able to add “Notes” to any Block(s) you set • Check “Add Notes” under “Action” in the left column on the Blocks Page • Then under “Action” select the type of Block you want to add • You can then either select a “Time” or “Date” range or a specific day on the calendar • In the box that appears, type your “Note”, then “Save” it • Now when you or an assignor selects the blocked date, the Note will appear at the bottom of the screen • All the Blocks and Notes appear for the checked “Groups” that appear at the top of the left-hand column on the Blocks Page

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. CSOA Rules of the Road Philosophical Discussion • 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!!!
