I agree and I feel the assignors or conferences should incur the costs. After all they are the ones that claim they love the system. All it does is make us "slaves" to the assignors will and when we decline a game we have an administrator that acts like we are all children because we decline a game. I am also tired of filling out paperwork that has all that personal information on Arbiter and it seems to be never used. That system benefits them, it does not really benefit the official.
