Referees

In MyCompApp, referees are users who have the referee role assigned to them. They are appointed to fixtures by the appointment officer.

Based on your settings, referees can get payments for their work.

Referees can manage their venue preferences and maintain their ineligible teams list. They can also leave a note for the appointment officer with specific requirements.

Referee panels

Referee panels are groups of referees used for ranking purposes. For example, you can have senior, intermediate, and junior referee panels. The panel rank is used to determine a referee's eligibility for fixtures.

Referee availability

Through the mobile app, referees can manage their availability and tell the appointment officer when they are available to officiate.

For convenience, the appointment officer can also lock availability for a specific date to prevent referees from changing their availability during the appointment process.

Appointments

There are 3 referee appointment positions:

  • Main referee
  • Assistant referee 1, 2
  • Fourth official

The software finds and recommends available referees for selected fixtures based on referee availability, referee panels, and referee preferences.

When appointments change, the referee receives a notification. The referee can also acknowledge the appointment to confirm their availability.

Real-time synchronization

The appointment interface connects to the server in real time. If multiple people are making appointments at the same time, the software automatically synchronizes the appointments to keep the data consistent.
