The Edit button will allow you to change game attributes and official assignments.

To assign officials to a game, just click the Assign link on the right-side of the game row.

You will see a drop-down menu for each position to be assigned. Next to each name, you will see one of several codes that checks for conflicts.

G: Group Conflict (a conflict due to Groups and Rules)
P: Previously declined this game
U: Unregistered (a conflict in the Registration module)
Z: Zone conflict (official doesn't belong to the game's zone)

If the official has requested the assignment, you will see the letters [RQ] next to the name.

The currently assigned official will be marked with an arrow (=>) next to the name.
