How much damage can creatures assign?
Can a creature only assign damage equal to its attack, or does it assign its damage to each blocking creature... for example:
If I attack with a 10/10 trample, and my opponent blocks with two 5/5s, does any trample damage get through (because he does 10 to each) or none (because he divides his damage among the two (if I assign it that way)
if possible, please site the section of the rules.

The 10/10 must assign lethal damage to each blocking creature (ie: 5 damage) before assigning damage to the player. You do not get to assign 10 damage to each. No trample damage gets through.
You dont need a section of the rules when I am around.
If a creature with trample is being blocked, then it needs to deal enough damage to kill the creature(s) blocking it before trample damage goes through. You could assign all damage to one 5/5 and let the other survive, but why would anyone do that?
