Hey, our association is using this for the first time and I just got my first assignments today. When I click on a specific game, there's a column that says "distance" and then has a number value. Can someone tell me what that means? Thanks!

I don't know how Arbiter calculates it, but it isn't always accurate.

I give these numbers to my accountant for tax purposes.

I concur with Bob that Arbiter is often close, but not totally accurate. I give my own spreadsheet/numbers to the "tax man" based on my odometer verification and previous year's known distances to the locations.

It's also often not close. I had one assignment that showed the distance at about 100, when the actual distance was 140+

I wonder if the Arbiter figures the distance as the crow flies, as opposed to actually driving the two distances. At any rate, I don't pay any attention to the mileage number and use my own records for mileage purposes.

Yikes, 40 miles IS a bit much!
