I am looking at a system for assigning refs that uses email and website, has confirmation built in, has ability to deal with cancellations, has the ability to distribute games evenly among levels of refs and is easy to use. Please indicate costs of systems if you know them, that is a big consideration.

The Arbiter is by far the best I've used. It's especially good for being able to coordinate schedules with multiple assignors. At one point I had 7 out of 8 assignors using it which made it very easy to track. Very user friendly for inputting availability as well.
