on availability-- add "I don't know my availability at this time"
Sometimes you just don't know your availability
We have decided not to incorporate this feature into our system.

Although we appreciate your suggestion, I imagine this might be a nightmare for schedulers. If we had an "I don't know" field for your availability, what do we do with your name when your scheduler goes to schedule? When they attempt to schedule they are given two window, one of available officials, and one of unavailable officials. Which screen do we place your name in? And if you're able to choose a screen, why not just set that as your availability in the first place? I just imagine that if your scheduler were to see "I don't know" they would basically consider you unavailable, which kind of defeats the purpose of this feature. I know personally, I would not schedule my officials to a game if their availability was "I don't know" but that's my 2 cents. If any other users have other thoughts on this idea, feel free to comment, if this is overwhelmingly something people want, we'd be happy to do that, but I imagine schedulers might object. Thoughts?
