 Varsity Assignments: 
Varsity assignments are being made now, based solely on the open dates listed in your ARBITER calendar. If you are given assignments based on your calendar, and then decline the assignments, they will not be replaced. We are very serious about the need for you keeping your ARBITER calendar accurate.

Non-Varsity Assignments: 

Most Frosh and Soph B games are made available to officials on the ArbiterSports.com Self Assigning menu. Please familiarize yourself with the instructions for contracting games in this fashion. 

LaMar Simpson is again coordinating all WSC Sophomore prelim and JV assignments. Be sure to see his notes on his pages re the Expectations of Non-Varsity Officials and the Non-Varsity Pre-Game Checklist.

PROCEDURE: LaMar makes his assignments based on his and Jay's evaluations of your work and feedback from coaches. Typically, the soph and JV assignments are reserved for those officials who have been identified as having varsity potential. If you feel that you qualify, but have not received games at this level, please contact LaMar by email or by phone. You can contact LaMar by phone 24/7 only at 708-814-9089. Do not phone his home number.  He will return your call as soon as he can, if you leave him a message with your phone number. His email address is llsimpson@ameritech.net.

Note again that when you receive your assignment on the ARBITER, that if a site or time differs from what you may have been originally told, CONSIDER THE ARBITER NOTIFICATION TO BE CORRECT. Some schools occasionally change their schedules. You should, of course, always phone the host schools the day before the game to confirm times, sites, driving directions, and levels. If the game is on a Saturday, be sure to call on Friday. All schools' phone numbers are listed on the ARBITER.

Canceling an Assignment

If there's more than a 24 hours before the assignment,  be sure to Email Jay (not LaMar) with a thorough explanation of WHY you are canceling. Again, Be sure that he gets your message.  Confirm later that the assignment has been updated on ARBITER and you have been removed.  If you are still there, contact Jay by phone.

To cancel an assignment at the last minute, phone Jay immediately (630-653-7166) and leave a message if there is no answer.
Be sure that he gets your message. Confirm later that the assignment has been updated on ARBITER and you have been removed. 
If you are still there, contact Jay again.
