We have use a website (the same one that is used by most college associations) that we receive our assignments from. Our commissioner places us in the games he wants us at, and we go to the site and accept or decline the game. You can also block out dates that you are not available for as well. Its generally bad practice to decline a game if it is assigned to you. You generally receive a notification of a game being assigned to you 2 weeks before the game. Playoffs you generally hear around Monday/Tuesday of game week if you will have a game or not.
When I first started 10 years ago, you received half your assignments about a week before week 1 in the mail printed off and you knew everyone who was working everygame. Then around week 6 you would receive the rest of the season's assignments and hoped to get a phone call come playoff time. Now you can only see the assignments of the game you are working and who you are working with.
