For assignors & coordinators

Referee Assignor Software Built for Real Leagues

If you coordinate officials across many games and venues, you need more than a calendar. Umply combines assignment rules, availability, self-claim, check-ins, and payouts in one assignor workflow.

Assigning Officials Shouldn't Be a Full-Time Job

Coordinators juggle certifications, travel, crew size, venue rules, and last-minute scratches—usually across group chats and spreadsheets.

Availability chaos

You are constantly polling crews, chasing confirmations, and rebuilding the board when one person drops.

Unfair or opaque assignments

Without guardrails, the same people get overworked—or everyone thinks the process is biased.

Game-day surprises

No-shows and late swaps are inevitable; what hurts is finding out too late to fix coverage.

Payment friction

If payouts are manual, you become the bank, the accountant, and the help desk after every weekend.

Everything Assignors Need in One Platform

Umply is league management software with an assignment engine designed for coordinators who live in the details.

Auto-assignment with constraints

Encode your real rules—roles, venues, divisions, and fairness—so the system proposes coverage you can review before publishing.

Self-claim for open games

Let qualified officials pick up open slots within the limits you set, reducing back-and-forth messages.

Check-in visibility

See who has arrived and who is late so you can reassign before kickoff.

Reliability signals

Track patterns that matter for youth leagues: responsiveness, no-shows, and last-minute changes.

Stripe-backed payouts

Move toward automated payouts after confirmed work, with less end-of-season reconciliation.

League-wide messaging

Broadcast changes once; teams and officials see updates in the same system that holds assignments.

How Assignors Use Umply

1

Import your crews and venues

Bring in officials, roles, locations, and divisions so assignments map to your real season structure.

2

Publish schedules and open slots

Generate league schedules, then release assignments—or open games for self-claim within your policy.

3

Monitor check-ins

Watch coverage on game day and handle swaps with context instead of panic texts.

4

Close the loop with payouts

Connect payments to completed work so officials get paid and you get time back.

What to Have Ready Before You Switch

A cleaner rollout starts with the real operating rules your league already uses, even if they currently live in spreadsheets, texts, or one coordinator's memory.

Current schedule and venue list

Bring your fields, courts, rinks, blackout dates, time windows, divisions, and recurring conflicts so constraints can be modeled clearly.

Roles that need coverage

List officials, scorekeepers, field crew, volunteers, and any sport-specific roles that must be assigned before games can run.

Assignment policy

Decide where admins assign directly, where self-claim is allowed, and which certifications, divisions, or venues require guardrails.

Check-in and payment rules

Define what counts as completed work, who approves exceptions, and how payout timing should connect to confirmed assignments.
