Has anybody use the Arbiter to assign games?

We will be using it this up coming school year. I want to know if any is using it and how easy is it to use. We have a umpires meeting on sunday, I have to ask my UIC to help me out. Before then can anybody help me.

Thanks,
ED

Our association has used the Arbiter for years. While I am not the assigner, each individual umpire can log onto the Arbiter and is able to have a more interactive role in his/her assignments. You can block out teams, sites, dates, and even other umpires. You can specify the travel limits and even check on the status of your paycheck. It is a great way to have a more active part in your assignments.

our chapter (www.dmsua.com) used it for the first time this year and everyone loves it

My association is using Arbiter this year for the first time. The only issue we have had so far is how the Arbiter system automatically assigns the first person (when having partner/s) to be responsible for sending in the report. If this person does not file the report, nobody gets paid.
