What should I do first?

Once you are signed in the system, you may want to do the following:

- Block dates when you can’t work.  You can find this under the "Block" menu tab. Your assigner might also have some other blocking options available to you.  Just remember that as you add more blocks, you may be assigned to fewer games.

      -   Mark yourself as Ready to be assigned by clicking the check box located on the top right corner your start page.  If you don’t have this checked, your assigner might not assign you to any games.  Once you click this check box, an icon will appear on your start page that allows you to view your game schedule.

- When your assigner assigns you to games, you will receive a notification email.  Then it’s up to you to accept or decline games, if allowed by your assigner.  To do this, you must sign into the system and view your game schedule.  On the right side of your game schedule, you will see accept and decline check boxes.  Once you are finished marking the games, be sure to click the Submit button to submit the changes and have the games accepted or declined.
