Mating Type Switching?

Dear Yeast Researchers,
Since yeast cells can change their mating types between a and alpha by 
HO, I wonder how we can specify a genotype as MAT a or alpha because, 
for example, cells could have a type after divisions even though you 
started with alpha type.  I learned that this switching happens more than 
50%.  Please get me out of this sea of ignorance.  Thanks a lot.
