I am helping the local AAU assignor to find software that either connects to the web and can publish information or is all web based that officials can log into and enter info.
Most software they want you to enter the teams first and then assign officials based of courts and teams. Here is an example of what I am needing: -------------------- If we had a tourney of 200 games, then we would have to enter the indvidually. What I would like to see is, a create tourney option. It would ask how many games in the tourney, and then the option to specify, 6 games 8 - 12, 5 games from 1-5. -------------------- Anyone have recommendations? |

Our Association has used a software called The Arbiter for over 5 years. It has great options and the company will incorporate any special needs you have at no additional charge. Go to thearbiter.net for a free demo and additional information.

We used to use EZ Schedule. They went out of business.
A couple years ago, we bought Sportspak. They went out of business and sold the rights to support. Now it's over $100.00 an hour to just get the most basic of questions answered. We've heard nothing but good about Arbiter which has been around since 1984. That will be our next (and hopefully final) purchase. Z [Edited by zebraman on Mar 30th, 2005 at 11:30 AM] |

The basketball & volleyball associations I belong to use a web based system system called RefTown - works really well! The main site url is http://www.reftown.com - you can find more information there.

I meant to type "Arbiter" and I typed "Sportspak" instead in the last paragraph. I went back and fixed it. Z |

Our volleyball association (GPVOA) switched to it just before the 2004 fall season & it worked out fantastically - saved our commissioner/assignor countless hours on the phone. The system is very adaptable - currently there are something like 20 different associations ranging from baseball to water polo using the site. The capabilities are far too numerous to mention here - best bet would be to contact Camron Rust, who is the primary developer & frequently posts on this forum, for more information. |

iSOCS
Our association has been using iSOCS, Internet Sports Officials Calendar and Scheduling System. It does not support the features asked for in the original post. We have used it 5 years for basketball, I have been the assignor for the last 2 1/2 years. Charge is $0.33 per game. I could not assign without it. It supports multiple sports and claims to have over 4000 customers.

Are you sure of that? I've been posting here for several years, have seen a ton of posts on different assigning software, and I honestly cannot remember Brad ever locking or deleting a thread related to that type of software. He has, and will, usually add a post reminding us that he does sell a type of scheduling software too. Nothing the matter with that. It's official-related and it is his site. They do a good job of getting rid of the other spam here, but stuff that is official related like equipment, software, books, etc. normally never gets censored. |

Yes, the thread you link to does appear to be closed. I don't know why, but I'm unwilling to ascribe it to competitive jealousy or malice based on my long term experience here. However, the thread was likely deleted when BushRef, the creator, had his account purged. If you have a Google through the site for BushRef and follow the links and the cached pages, you'll note that threads BushRef started all appear to be deleted. Threads he merely participated in still exist. So if you're implying that our host has been so heavy-handed as to nuke the thread because it discussed competing software, I believe you are mistaken. But the fact that you can recall such a situation, that you have been here for less than a month and that you appear to have such a bitter disposition toward Brad, leads me to wonder if you aren't our long lost BushRef himself. a.k.a. Bush in 2004 and now bballrob. It sure smells like BushRef to me.

The following threads showed up. Note that not one was closed by Brad. http://www.officialforum.com/thread/5752 http://www.officialforum.com/thread/8529 http://www.officialforum.com/thread/10628 http://www.officialforum.com/thread/11046 The only thread closed was because of the actions of a departed poster, BushRef. He's outa here, and deservedly so. He tried to post again under another name, and now that one is outa here too. As mentioned before, you seem to have the same animosities as BushRef towards Brad. Kinda funny, eh? Feel free to come up with another case where Brad deleted or closed a thread regarding scheduling software. If you can't come up with one, be man enough to apologize to him. |
