Also, in our area, the individual schools determine if/when they want 3-person, not the association. I have never seen a 3-person JV game. |

Part Of The Cost Of Doing Business ...
Yeah, that's what I want to do, pay to get paid.

Not Being Sarcastic, I'm Serious ...
Isn't it easier to for me to "fix" a "drained" credit (not debit) card than a "drained" bank checking account?

That said, it can potentially cause legitimate payments to bounce in the couple of days it should take to straighten things out. If that bothers you, it is as easy as setting up a separate account to receive these payments into so if something bad happens it's not happening to your main bank account. My bank has been incredibly proactive, shutting access to my refereeing account before a single unauthorized transaction occurred when my card was compromised when Official Sports International got hacked. Likewise when Target got hacked. YMMV. |

Don't work much JV...but if you're somehow able to get this over....DO IT. That's the perfect training ground for future varsity/college officials. I would absolutely love working a JV game with 3 officials...if it meant I could help younger officials to work the system!

They Call It "Three Men and a Truck"

Good cuz it provides effective training for the future. Bad cuz it gives the schools something for free. Good cuz it shows the schools the kind of quality service they could have if only they loosened the purse strings enough to pay for three officials. Bad cuz why would they pay for it if they're getting it for free now. Maybe I'm at fault for my ambivalence, but more good seems to be coming out of this than bad. Though I still don't feel perfectly comfortable with the "giveaway" aspect of it. I'm torn.

Only downfall is when schools don't pay you right away. Some don't have money in their account. I waited a full month to get paid for one goy/girl double header. Can be difficult to keep track of who pays when your schedule gets hectic mid-season. You have to request transfer but if you want automatic, they deduct a few dollars for each. No thanks, I'll request my own.

A couple of thoughts....
My assignor has been using it for a few years now. And, he's getting more and more high schools to utilize it in the greater urban area where I live. Most of the outlying schools that are smaller class and use a different assignor(s), still issue checks on game day. I actually prefer game checks on game day. Done deal. Some of the ADs I talk with prefer checks on game day too because they are done with the whole thing on the spot. Refs are paid and they move on to the next business at hand. The thing I don't like about the Refpay situation is that schools that used to pay by check on game day now tend to wait a day or two after the game to deposit funds to my Refpay account. Then, it can take up to 2 or 3 days for the EFT to hit my bank account from Refpay. So, it's gone from getting a check on game day to getting funds up to 5 business days later. Not a huge deal, but definitely something I had to get used to when balancing my officiating book. |

And with mobile banking, I can deposit the check at half time by taking a couple pictures with my phone.

I tried that once with my banking app cuz it sounded cool. It worked. But the funds were available like 2 or 3 days later, though, after verification. ho hum.
