Competition in any marketplace is good for all. There have been long standing issues with the current offerings and I'm sure I speak for everyone at all points of amateur sports when I say I wish you the very best of successes with your venture!

I wouldn't expect this to handle payment; that tends to overcomplicate and bloat Arbiter (and the corresponding ArbiterPay). However, is there the means to ledger whether a game (or event, as you call it) was paid or is still pending? Examples of data field entries would be: 

• Paid in Person at Event
• Paid in Person at Event Completion (these two would include cash or check, issued by the Event Director / host)
• Payment Pending / Not Paid Yet (the worst entry)
• Paid via E-method 03/05/24 (Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, RefPay, etc.)
• Paid via Check issued 03/01/24

As an umpire, I need to see which games have been paid and which are still pending (thereby prompting me to start blowing up someone's phone). On any given week, I've worked not only multiple games, but using several different methods of payment.

Please, please, please take a bite out of Arbiter's pie.  I f###ing hate Arbiter with a passion.  It is one of the things leading me towards retirement.  I know my beef isn't fully Arbiter's problem, some of my disdain comes back to how the assignors are using it, but Arbiter's very UNFRIENDLY user interface is hot trash.  It may be great for an assignor, but as an official, I think it sews socks in hell.

Arbiter is generations ahead of the dog 💩 assigning interface of Zebraweb. If Arbiter vexes you, Zebra-dung would send you over the edge. Thanks NJSIAA!

In the "Dogpile of Hot Garbage" category, I'd like to nominate the official software of Satan:  DragonFly.  Everything about that software is painful and dumb - and I was an IT person in the US Government for 3.5 decades.  (And I just found out yesterday their payment system is hackable, and was for at least one person I've worked with.)

I nominate one of my catchers last night who thought actually catching the inside pitches was optional...

No experience with Dragonfly, but I've heard it is a steaming contribution to society.

I won't disagree with your DF assessment...but it's a welcome respite from Arbiter IMHO. Yes, I think Arbiter is just *that* bad horrific.
