Great System !
Problem is, you have to have email to get your notifications, and you have to have Internet access to accept and view your games.
20% of our association is fighting it tooth and nail. I understand that not everyone wants to have, or can afford to have, a computer with Internet access. Some have taken the suggestion of using a HotMail type of email account, and a public library computer. But for those that refuse, our assigner is forced to still call or fax those members.
What method does your association use ?

We started with the Arbiter system this year and at first I didn't like it (used it during basketball)
But its gotten better and better.
Really a good system as far as contacting partners and it really makes it easier for the schools to get the information on umpires etc., (speeds up the checks)
I thought it would be a problem in baseball with all of the changes for rainouts etc, but its worked great.
Thanks
