ArbiterSports is the sports officiating software company of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and is a venture between two NCAA subsidiaries, Arbiter LLC and eOfficials LLC. The company is based in Sandy, Utah.

History

Arbiter was built in 1984 by Advanced Business Technology, at the request of the Utah High School Athletics Association, who hired ABT to build an automated method of allocating sports officials to matches and managing their assignments. Known as TheArbiter, the software was originally released on the MS DOS platform and the Microsoft Windows platform in 1997. Arbiter was released as a web application in 2003, known as TheArbiter.NET.

Acquisition by the NCAA

Arbiter was acquired by the NCAA in September 2008. The NCAA said their purpose in the acquisition, along with their acquisition of eOfficials LLC the same month, was to improve the quality and consistency of officiating at all levels of play. Click here to logon to your ArbiterSports account.
