What is a Conflict Code?
When assigning officials to games, in the assigning dropdown, you may notice a letter or letters to the right of an officials' name:
These are called 'Conflict Codes,' and are abbreviations for reasons you may not want to assign the official to said position.
What does each Conflict Code mean?
You can view what an official's conflicts mean by selecting the Conflicts tab underneath the game you're assigning.
You can also learn what each conflict code means in the table below:
