To CFOA BB Officials:

This email is to answer a couple of recent emails, which the Treasurer received.

The "Paid by Bill To" line of the Arbiter white paysheet is where the non-lump sum schools game fees are subtracted from the total of all games reported above.    All games must be reported on Arbiter for purposes of computing the number of games refereed by each official, which goes into the annual report required to be filed with the FHSAA by each association.      The non-lump sum school games are lightly shaded in grey in the game listing.      The non-lump sum games were paid by the home school at the gym or by mail.    Their total has to be deducted from the all games subtotal, in order to compute the "blue check" amount; which is the last number in the lower right corner.     

Greg Vanatta, Treasurer
