The Problem

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.

Features

Everything your assigning workflow needs.

RefSync mirrors how experienced assignors already think — it just removes the friction and manual tracking that slows them down.

Core

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.

Core

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.

Compliance

Certification & Eligibility Tracking

Certification grades, registration status, and age-group eligibility are stored on each referee profile and checked automatically during assignment.

Matching

Location Preferences

Referees define travel radius or preferred regions. Assignments surface distance alongside each suggestion so assignors can factor it into decisions.

Matching

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.

Workflow

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.

Workflow

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.

Access

Mobile Referee Schedule

Referees access their schedule, game details, and confirmation actions from a mobile-optimized view. No app install required.

Legacy tools were built before smartphones. Spreadsheets were never built for this. RefSync was.

The MVP is focused on youth soccer and built around soccer-specific workflows — age groups, certification grades, and role structures common in USSF-aligned organizations. That said, the underlying system is sport-agnostic and we're actively building toward multi-sport support. If your organization works across multiple sports, reach out — we'd like to understand your needs.
Yes. A referee's profile, certifications, and availability travel with them across every organization they work for. Assignors only see the games and availability that apply to their own schedule — no duplicate profiles, no conflicting calendars.
Always. Auto-assist is a recommendation layer, not an autopilot. It surfaces best-fit referees for each slot, but every assignment is made, reviewed, and confirmed by the assignor. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.
That's the goal. Schedules, availability, eligibility, confirmations, and assignment history all live in one place with proper access controls.
Yes. Upload a CSV export from your league platform and map the columns once — games, fields, age groups, and kickoff times come in automatically. League and Enterprise plans include hands-on import support.
