To set your “Availability” as a Referee in GotSport, you would set “Blackout” dates and times on your individual GotSport Account on the Referee tab. The following link provides detailed instructions.

Creating Availability Blackouts as a Referee 

For an Assignor to view an event and the schedules, they would need to request access to the tournament or league, and be approved by the Event Director. The following link provides instructions on requesting access:

Requesting Access to an Event as a Referee Assignor

If your Referees are part of your pool, but aren’t seeing them available to assign, they will need to be added to the event:

By default, all matches are not published, which is the setting that “hides” matches from the referee, until the assignor decides to allow referees to see assignments. To make assignments visible to referees, matches will need to be set to published on the Match List. The following link provides instructions on how to publish and un-publish assignments:

How to Publish/Unpublish Referee Assignments

GotSport offers different options when it comes to notifying referees of their matches; either individually or in bulk.

Notify Referees of their Offered Assignments

If an Assignor has their match schedule set to “Unpublished”, the Referee will not see any offered or accepted matches. These matches would need to be set to “Published” on the Match List, in order for the referee to see the matches on their account Referee tab.

If a match has assignments, offered or accepted and the event makes a change to any combination of match’s date, time, field, or venue, the match will be highlighted on the Match Chart, Match List, and Detail pages of the event.  All assignments will be set to “stale” which requires that the previous assignments be either:

• Restored – Place previously assigned referee back on the match. This would require the referees to accept the match again.
• Clear – This will clear previous assignments and allow for new officials to be assigned.

 The following articles provide instructions on how to address matches that have been changed:
