Assignment Methods
Assignment methods
• Ref Centre has 6 methods for assigning referees
• 1. Manual assignment
• 2. Automatic assignment
• 3. Batch assignment
• 4. Self serve
• 5. Auto Pilot
• 6. Back to back
1. Manual assignment
Manual assignment is quite
slow as you assign referees
one game at a time, however
it gives you the most control
on who is offered the game
A manual assignment
process can be done by
clicking on a Preview link
Pre from your assigner home
page
1. Manual assignment
The manual assignment
page will open showing you
details on the game
The drop down box will show
you a list of referees that
a) are available on that day
b) are qualified high enough
for that game
c) wish to attend that field
and
d) wish to officiate that
division
Select which referee you
want and click the ‘Assign
Referees’ button to send him
a game offer via email
2. Automatic assignment
The automatic assignment
method is the fastest method
of assigning referees.
With this method you use
Ref Centres powerful
assignment engine
First you select a start and
end date and your options
2. Automatic assignment
In step 2 of this process you
select the leagues and
divisions that you want the
engine to assign
At the bottom of the screen
(not shown here) is a button
that when pressed will fire
the engine
The engine takes just a few
seconds to assign multiple
games
2. Automatic assignment
Step 3 is a list of
assignments made by the
engine
The engine only selects
referees who are
a) available on that date
b) qualified for that game
c) wish to attend that field
d) wish to do that division
If you don’t like the selection
of the engine uncheck the
box on the left of the report
The engine allocates games
fairly over the course of a
season
Click on the ‘Submit’ button
(not shown on this screen
shot) to sent a game offer
3. Batch assignment
Batch assignment allows you
to offer multiple games to a
referee over a period of time
at the same venue
First select a start and end
date
Then select the day of week,
venue and referee
3. Batch assignment
The system will then list all
the available games in this
time window at that venue
You can then assign the
referee to these games
If the referee is already
assigned to other games on
a day then those check
boxes are grayed out eg Sep
4 in this example
4. Self serve
The self serve method allows
referees to help themselves
to games that you have
made available to them
To make games available
you select a date window
and then select the games
that you wish to release to
the referees
4. Self serve
Here the games in your
selected date window are
listed. Only games which still
require referees or ARs are
listed
The red X shows which
positions are still open
The green tick shows which
positions are currently filled
Check off the games that
you want to release to the
referee community
Publish the list by clicking on
the ‘Submit’ button (not
shown on this screen shot)
4. Self serve – the referees view
This is the screen that the
referee sees to view the
available games
To pick up a game all he
needs to do is click on the
‘Accept’ link and it will be
added to his schedule
He can only see games that
he is qualified to do
He can not see games that
over lap an existing game on
his schedule
The referee assigner can
limit the number of games a
referee can do in a day or he
can leave it unlimited
4. Self serve – field maps
Before the referee accepts a
game he can click on the
field name to retrieve a map
showing the location of the
field. This may help him
decide if he wishes to accept
the game or not
5. Auto Pilot
The auto pilot will do all
the work for you.
Just set it up and the the
game offers will be made
to the referees every
morning at 3am
Select the following to
fire the auto pilot engine
1. # of days you want to
work in advance
2. # of days warning you
want when the engine is
struggling to fill a game
3. Which leagues and
divisions will be
managed by the auto
pilot engine
6. Back to Back
Back to back allows you
to do manual
assignment on games
on the same field on the
same day
Usually you would do
this to give a referee 2 or
3 games one after the
other
