Self-Appointing
Self-appointing gives referees the flexibility to choose their own matches. RefAssist checks the pre-defined appointment rules for every appointment and only proposes it to the complying referees. After each chosen match, the referee receives a confirmation and the appointment is added to the modules’ statistics.
As an optional functionality, referees can also self-cancel their appointments. Cancelled appointments are added to the modules’ statistics as well and reappear for other referees to self-appoint.
As referee manager, you keep full control thanks to the statistics overview, while avoiding the administrative labour and last-minute changes.
