Official Scheduling software
« on: October 20, 2016, 02:45:28 PM »
Can anyone shed some light on their experiences with products other than Arbiter?

Pretty well versed in that product but interested to hear what others might use and their pros/cons.

Thanks!

I get booked using Game Officials (www.gameofficials.net). I don't do the booking, so I don't know what it is like from that side, and I have no idea of the cost.

Having used Arbiter in the past, gameofficials seems more user-friendly.

The splash page still has a pic of a guy in knickers...straw poll of the last time anyone wore knickers??? 
The web interface seriously looks like something from the early 2000s.

Maybe it is my borderline late gen-X/early millennial perspective showing, but when I think user interface / user experience, that site leaves a lot to be desired.
