One way to delegate umpire assignment responsibilities with a large league is to use Field Umpire Coordinators, who can be assigned to specific fields to manage assignments. The field umpire coordinator can only make assignments for fields assigned to them. The field umpire coordinator cannot edit pay rates for umpires.

Your League Administrator can add Field Umpire Coordinators to the league (See Add League Officers). To assign a field to a Field Umpire Coordinator, go to Fields and edit the field to assign field umpire coordinators (NOTE: currently only the league admin, match secretary, or field coordinator can perform this task. You can either have one of them do these assignments or ask your league admin to add you as a Field Coordinator so you can do them).

Having an assistant or two is a good idea if you have a large league. Ask your league administrator to add new assistants into the database with Umpire Coordinator powers, and a title like "1st Base Ump Coordinator". See Add League Officers for information on how the league administrator does this.

Then you can divide up the work -- such as having two people do the assigning, or have one person do the assigning and the other person handle other tasks. However you choose to do it, there is no risk that two umpires will be assigned to the same game using MySoftballLeague.com

Since only one umpire coordinator can be the email contact, we encourage leagues with multiple umpire coordinators to use an email address that forwards to all of the coordinators.
