Arbiter Mandate
I had seen a thread a week or so regarding mandates by the State governing bodies on officiating. GHSA has issued a mandate requiring us to use Arbiter for all registration and assigning of officials.
I was wondering if any other states have made this move. If so, how successful or unsuccessful has it been? What the reasons given for the mandate? What did the governing body get out of the move?

Everybody does it
In Kentucky, I believe all sports use Arbiter. (I know basketball and baseball do) Part of our state dues go toward the Arbiter user fee. I have no idea how much the fee per official is.

Here, in SE PA, there is no mandate for school basketball, the only state-sanctioned sport I currently work. Some basketball assignors use it, some don't.
I can only speculate about what a governing body would get. Increased consistency and accountability, as people have to accept/decline assignments? Ease in pre-game communication among partners? A more structured system for submitting post-game incidents in reports? If the state also implements refpay, maybe some more methodical payment. |

Our state association hasn't mandated anything. Both my HS boards utilize Arbiter. The previous commissioner on my local board lost his position in 2010 in part because he refused to go to electronic scheduling; he was still using pen and paper and sending out assignment on an Execl spreadsheet.

Our area uses the arbiter.Personally I love it-everything is very easily laid out.All it takes is a click to accept or decline a game and all the forms are available online for easy reference.

A few years ago, the state mandated its use for playoff assignments: that's the only requirement I'm aware of that comes down from the state. I think it was just easier to use a system that is compatible at the local level. Refpay seems to be making the same transition. First mandated to get paid for playoff games, now more and more schools get added each year.

Is It 1984 Already ???
One school last year, a second this year (of the seventy schools we service). I haven't worked at either school. Some of us, including me, are reluctant to give the schools our bank account numbers, social security numbers (that we already do for many schools), and driver's license numbers. And we don't want to pay $5.00 for a mailed paper check. What do you guys think? What have your experiences with Refpay been like? Is it inevitable as we continue our march through the Digital Age of "Big Brother"?
