On Thursday, the Arizona Interscholastic Association renewed its deal with athletic management software company ArbiterSports. The AIA will continue to use ArbiterPay to make payments to game officials.
ArbiterPay allows for mass payment with only one payout upload. In sports like basketball or baseball, a single season will feature many, many games. As a result, the association, which counts 265 member institutions, needs to contract numerous officials. For the AIA, that would mean consistently writing hundreds of manual checks.
“The first year we started using ArbiterSports for electronic payments, it literally removed 6,000 checks off my desk,” said AIA Director of Finance and Operations, Denise Doser, in a statement.
