ArbiterSports is the product of two groundbreaking companies serving the officiating community.

Arbiter entered the venture as the most widely-used administrative program for game officials, used by nearly 3,000 leagues and associations to assign more than 270,000 registered officials. Excel Sports Officiating brought experience in providing educational programs and professional development tools to more than 50,000 officials.

The venture came together under the auspices of the NCAA, which acquired both companies in 2008 with the goal of providing sports officials and their leaders with more efficient, comprehensive, and consolidated online capabilities.
