Hi All,
New member to the board and although not an umpire, I do work in sports administration. (And although a new member, while going through the archives I did notice a big debate about using assigner vs. assignor.)
Anyways, the reason for this post is simple: does anyone have advice on becoming an assignor/assigner? I just applied for this role yesterday with an association, but even if I don't get the job, I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for future openings. I believe it's roughly 200-300 officials, but am not 100% certain on how many teams that'll cover.
Yes, I know I'm probably crazy for wanting this job -- but at the same time I'm the type of crazy person who enjoys setting games schedules.
