For assignors
We've published a comprehensive guide explaining how assignments move through the system. Every assignment follows a predictable path from creation to game day, passing through statuses like Tentative, Assigned, and Accepted. But sometimes assignments end before the official works the match—through Removed, Declined, or Revoked. This guide explains it all.
The article covers:
The six assignment statuses and what each one means
The standard flow from Tentative → Assigned → Accepted
Exit points: how and why assignments end up as Removed, Declined, or Revoked
How assignments transition between statuses (and when they can move backwards)
What assignors can do vs. what officials can do
How "current" vs. "non-current" assignments work when you replace an official
