ArbiterSports and California Interscholastic Federation Sign Partnership
Two-year agreement enables CIF and its constituents to schedule games once and distribute those schedules statewide from a single, centralized platform
SANDY, Utah, March 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ArbiterSports, the established leader in athletic management, today announced that it has been designated as the official athletic department management platform of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) as part of a new two-year agreement. One of the core objectives of the new partnership is to provide schools with a single schedule entry point within the state.
"This relationship will enable us to wrap our arms around our schedules, to make them more broadly available and ultimately to reduce the workload associated with multiple schedule entries at our school sites," stated CIF Executive Director Roger L. Blake. "It represents a major step forward in realizing our vision of an 'enter once, distribute many' scheduling process."
With ArbiterSports, schools can eliminate the need to manage separate game schedules for all the different entities that need them, such as school websites and partners, officials, assigners, district facility and transportation departments, and the CIF. Instead, schools can enter game schedules into the ArbiterSports system, which automatically distributes the schedules to all necessary parties.
"ArbiterSports has a long history of serving assigners and schools in California, and we're thrilled to partner with CIF and expand the benefits to all parties," said ArbiterSports President and CEO Jeff Triplette. "The need to consolidate schedule entry to a single portal is a common request in every state, and CIF has always been on the forefront nationally at addressing such issues."
Officials have relied on the accuracy and up-to-date nature of ArbiterSports scheduling for years to ensure they showed up at the right game at the right time. Now this accurate data will be open to multiple sources simultaneously. As part of the contract, ArbiterSports has also been designated as the official assigning and payments platform, having been used in many parts of the state for over 30 years.
"The ArbiterSports suite of state-of-the-art products promise to streamline processes for our member schools and districts, from event scheduling to cashless payment of officials and event workers," added Blake.
