Submitting Availability
- Submit availability during hours when games are being played. The best times to get games are between 8am and 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Submit as much availability as you can, as at many rinks as you can, as that gives the assigner more options for matching you with an appropriate game and officiating partner.
- Be honest when submitting availability. The quickest way to gain a negative reputation with the scheduler is to consistently put your assignments on the open games list or attempt to sign up for games beyond your level.
