So if I understand correctly, if I want to block out Tuesday Nights for Ward A and Wednesday night for Ward B, I need to select the "Stake", and this then would allow Ward A to schedule events during their time as regular events, but would block them from scheduling on Ward B's night.

No, you select "Ward A" for Tuesday and "Ward B" for Wednesday. That will allow only calendar editors from those specific wards to schedule resources then. Don't select "Stake" unless you only want stake calendar editors to be able to schedule resources on a particular date/time.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

I'm confused. So you then selected "Blocked". This will then allow the appropriate Ward to calendar their events for that night, but not for a night blocked out by another Ward. It also will not allow anyone in the stake to calendar for that day as well.

It's quite simple: If you set it to "Ward A" then only Ward A can schedule it. If you set it to Ward B, then only Ward B can schedule it. If you set it to Blocked, no one (but the building scheduler) can schedule it.

Okay, but I only have two options for a resource. Ward A and Ward B share the same building, but it only lets me select "Blocked" or "Stake", not either one of the Wards.

Are the Wards A and B added to the location via the "Add unit to location"?

Probably because those units have not been added to that location. Go to Settings > Locations & Room.

Only a building scheduler can override a reservation, and then only if he has edit access to the calendar that the event needs to be placed on. The other way is to have the building scheduler edit the reservation to allow the "exception"
