What did you not like about Zebra-Ware? (I know why *I* didn't like it ... curious as to your thoughts)

Pro-Tip: You can use a + sign after your Gmail and it will still come to you ... this might allow you to create multiple accounts, but with the same email address.

If your email is [email protected] — you can use [email protected] for your high school and [email protected] for your college games ... and so on.

Where to start...clunky interface is the big one. Points and game fee tracking is a good idea but poorly executed. Reports are tedious to create and read. Needs more options for exporting data.

I can think of more if I put my mind to it but that's those are the glaring ones.

It does work but some sites will not let you enter such an email address in their system. I use such addresses with my gmail accounts to guard against spam but some sites reject it as an invalid address.

Look, don't try to outgeek me Rust!!

You're right, of course … I generally use [email protected] for that very reason.

Ok, we've reached NERDCON 2 … time to pump the brakes!

Who pays for it? The individual chapters? Or the state?

The booking agents pay for it out of the booking fee. Some actually share the same account.

My primary booking agent (I say primary because he books MS and Rec football, MS and JV basketball, all softball minus college and MS and Rec baseball. I call those sports also so I work with him all year) has an arbiter account that he shares with three other booking agents. He told me his Arbiter fee is around $1000/year, but moving from Arbiter to Booking Agent (he did about five years ago) made his life so much easier so it was ultimately worth the price.
