ECAC has informed us they will prepare checks for the initial Official Payment System (OPS) payment for the 2007 season on Monday, October 22, 2007. Payment will be for matches played before October 22, 2007. Please review the documentation accompanying the payment for discrepancies with your records. There are several schools in our area that did not fund ECAC so you will not be paid for the games they hosted in this payment cycle.
Take a few minutes to review the financial information on your ECAC assignment web page. Try to resolve financial issues with the assignor and ensure the ECAC web site is updated as soon as possible.
ECAC’s Official Payment Service was supposed to make the first payment to officials for the 2007 season on October 10, 2007. According to ECAC, quite a few of their subscribing institutions did not fund ECAC by October 10, 2007. Consequently, ECAC failed to meet their first scheduled payment deadline.
ECAC is currently reviewing their accounts and will provide a revised payment schedule and plan. We will post updates here as they become available.
Dues for the 2008 season must be sent to Joe Danbusky by November 1, 2007. The dues for renewing active members are $160. Please check the dues schedule for assessor dues as well as dues for other membership categories.
Members who are currently “inactive” must notify Joe Danbusky of their intentions for the 2008 season and pay the applicable dues by November 1, 2007. Please make your payment out to “NYMISOA.”
The ECAC serves as a paying agent for subscribing schools to pay the assigned soccer officials. The schools using this service for men’s and women’s soccer in the metro New York City area for the 2007 season are:
Adelphi University, C.W. Post University, City College of New York (CCNY), Dowling College, Farmingdale University, Hunter College, Manhattanville College, Molloy College, University of New Haven, New Paltz, NYU, Nyack College, Old Westbury, Southern Connecticut State University, St. Joseph’s College (Patchogue), St. Thomas Aquinas College, SUNY Purchase, SUNY Maritime College (Men only), Western Connecticut State University, York College.
This list is subject to change. Payments are scheduled for October 10, 2007 and November 16, 2007.
