Our arbiter fees are taken from our annual dues. We're paying it, but it's just not itemized.
A few years ago, the state mandated its use for playoff assignments: that's the only requirement I'm aware of that comes down from the state. I think it was just easier to use a system that is compatible at the local level.
Refpay seems to be making the same transition. First mandated to get paid for playoff games, now more and more schools get added each year.
