Fill every game
with the right referee.
RefSync helps assignors manage availability, eligibility, comfort level, location preferences, and confirmations in one streamlined workflow.
Assigning referees shouldn't feel like triage.
Most assignors are managing hundreds of games per weekend with tools that were never built for this. The result is preventable chaos.
Spreadsheets that break under pressure
Shared Google Sheets, version conflicts, no access controls. One wrong edit cascades through a whole weekend of games.
Text chains and email threads
Availability collected via group texts. Confirmations buried in DMs. No single source of truth, ever.
Last-minute coverage gaps
A referee cancels Saturday morning. You don't find out until 90 minutes before kickoff. Frantic calls begin.
Eligibility uncertainty
Are they certified for this age group? Is their registration current? You're guessing. Again.
Confirmations that never come
You assigned someone three weeks ago. No reply. You follow up. Nothing. Game is tomorrow.
No visibility into referee readiness
Who's available this weekend? Who prefers nearby games? Who's comfortable with U16? It's all in your head.
Everything your assigning workflow needs.
RefSync mirrors how experienced assignors already think — it just removes the friction and manual tracking that slows them down.
Smart Assignment Recommendations
Auto-assist surfaces the best-fit referees for each game based on availability, certification, comfort level, and proximity. You decide — it just does the legwork.
Referee Availability
Referees set their availability by day, time block, or individual date. Assignors see a real-time availability grid across their entire referee pool.
Certification & Eligibility Tracking
Certification grades, registration status, and age-group eligibility are stored on each referee profile and checked automatically during assignment.
Location Preferences
Referees define travel radius or preferred regions. Assignments surface distance alongside each suggestion so assignors can factor it into decisions.
Comfort Level by Role & Age Group
Each referee profile tracks comfort level for CR, AR, and center duties across age groups. Assignments reflect actual readiness, not just availability.
Assignment Confirmations
Referees confirm or decline assignments directly in RefSync. Assignors see confirmation status in real time and can follow up or reassign in one click.
Self-Assignment
Eligible referees can browse open games and self-assign when allowed. Assignors control which games are open, which roles are eligible, and can review before finalizing.
Mobile Referee Schedule
Referees access their schedule, game details, and confirmation actions from a mobile-optimized view. No app install required.
Built for modern assigning workflows.
Legacy tools were built before smartphones. Spreadsheets were never built for this. RefSync was.
