Just got an e-mail from assignor who heard the news. Anyone else catch this?

Yup, saw the announcement on one of my ABW pages. Just got an email as well from one of my assignors saying they will look at all options before making a decision.

Yes. And the cost went up even though collegiate assignors joined on.

The announcement on the front page of their site doesn't really sounds like ArbiterSports bought ABW. It sounds like ABW threw in the towel, but made arrangements with ArbiterSports to transition their clients there.

I just read their main page and agree with BITS.

This should be interesting. About 90% of my games are with ABW.

I heard they will go out of business on December 31.

Peace

Indeed; I saw the message the other day and informed our Assignor. This will be chaos during the transition between the two. I can see it now. And that's if I assume correctly, that we are going with the other company.

Sounds about right. About as annoying as the managers that view IT simply as an "expense".
