That's not true. It's no different than logging into the Arbiter. That password appears as ....... except for the last character keyed, visible for a few seconds.

Our assignment commissioner has allowed us to block out these four schools, but as more schools go to RefPay, I'm not sure that he'll be able to continue to allow us to do that.

It's pretty difficult to transfer your game fees to your bank account without having your account number. Giving them your account number is no different than making a purchase or paying a bill online.

But if you prefer, they will mail you a check or credit it to a ArbiterPay debit card, both for a fee.

3 man JV games - We've had 3 man crews in several leagues for around 15 years. The problem with most associations that are still working 2 man is they don't want to reduce their game fees at all in order to incorporate a 3rd official. That's what it's going to take in most areas to get 3 man added.
