Profile Tab - Sharing sub-tab 3rd Option – “With Whom”

“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

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

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

• 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!!!
