Arbiter buys ABW
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

Jeff,

According to the letter posted on their website, that is correct.

Once you're up to speed on Arbiter, you'll never look back. Far superior in every aspect IMHO

One of my close friends and partner uses this site. He was contacted directly.

I already use the Arbiter and used this program first. I cannot stand ABW because of the fact everyone sees your assignments. I can limit that on the Arbiter. I am glad that they would have to use the Arbiter over ABW any day.

Peace
