Automatically block officials from working when "My (Their) Team" is playing.
Allow another feature where umpires select the team(s) they play in which automatically makes them unavailable for the times they are playing

Have a way in the BLOCK system to make the official unavailable for all games when their team is playing. It is too hard to mark their availability when the game times may change and then they forget to change it.... I deal with a lot of minor refs and it is hard enough to get them to just mark their availability.

Travis, the difference with this is that it would also block their availability for other games at the same time if they are bad at updating or the assignor gets the schedule before they do.

Makes it so much easier for the Officials that are playing also

Officials have the option in the administrative forms to block teams. This would effectively remove them from eligibility for those games, as long as your association has that option turned on.

I support this idea as I have a number of Player/Officials that show up as available at other venues, while they are playing somewhere else. It would save a lot of time with declined assignments if they were automatically "unavailable" while their team is playing.

This would only need to link to their team name and should make them unavailable during their playing game time, as well as working any other games of the same division (match code).
