1. Automatically including a Travel Fee when an Assignment requires travel to a distant Field
2. Dynamically computing the mileage allowance from the Referee's location to the Match's Location
3. Collecting Travel Expenses (Plane Flights, Car Rentals, Overnight accommodations, etc.).

5. Automatically adding fee bonuses when no ARs are present (a "Single")
