CONFUSION OF HIERARCHY
- If the Assignor issues clear/concise instructions, please follow those instructions.
- If you feel the Assignors instructions are unclear, place you in a detrimental, unsafe, or unusual situation, communicate w/the assignor or assistant to seek clarification.
- If you can't reach the assignor or assistant, contact the “COLB” for clarity, and responsibly provide them w/all instructions given by the assignor or assistant.
AVOID INSUBORDINATION
1. Yes it's ok to responsibly take instructions from “COLB” if you can't reach the assignor or assistant.
2. Notify the assignor if you contacted the “COLB” for any business matters.

Assignors Commentary
Obviously, protocol improprieties suggest we address the entire team. Everyone is entitled to human error. How you manage things in the aftermath is our focus.
Honestly, it's not our business why games are cancelled, what Team Sidelines displays, or if fields are deemed unplayable. We follow instructions within our hierarchy and expect the same courtesy.
Contacting the "COLB" sports office to circumvent the assignors instructions walks the thin line of insubordination. Hopefully you respect our viewpoint. We are open for discussion for those who don't.
Professional regards,
Ace 5on5 Sports
