Bloomz for Sports Leagues›Referees
Referees

Assign referees by hand or by availability. They accept in the app.

A referee pool, pay rates, change notices and pay statements. No money moves through Bloomz.

Keep a pool of referees with the divisions they work and the times they are free. Say how many each game needs, assign them yourself or let auto-assign propose a plan, and approve it. Referees accept or decline in the app, and are asked to reconfirm if a game changes.

01

A pool, and slots for every game

Add referees to the club's pool with a grade, the divisions they may work, weekly availability and blackout dates. Each game has slots by position. The defaults are one centre referee for soccer U10 and younger, and a centre plus two assistants from U12. Set your own by division, or override a single game.

✓
Referee pool: grade, divisions, availability, blackouts
✓
Slots by position: centre and assistants
✓
Per division or per game: change the defaults
✓

02

Assign by hand, or let it propose

Assign someone yourself and you get a warning if they are outside their division, unavailable or overlapping, which you can override. Auto-assign proposes a plan for a date range and will not break those rules: it respects availability and blackouts, leaves a travel buffer between different venues, and gives the next game to whoever has the fewest. Every placement says why, and every empty slot says what ruled out the candidates. You approve it, and only then are referees told.

✓
Warnings by hand: you can override them
✓
Auto-assign never breaks the rules: division, availability, overlaps
✓
Travel buffer: between venues, 30 minutes by default
✓
Preview and approve: referees notified once
03

Accept, decline, reconfirm

Referees accept or decline from the app. A decline frees the slot and alerts the assignor, and that referee is not offered the same game again. If a game is rescheduled, postponed or cancelled, including by a rainout reflow, the assigned referees are marked to reconfirm and notified.

✓
Accept or decline: from the app
✓
Slot freed and assignor alerted: on a decline
✓
Reconfirm on change: time, place, postponed, cancelled
✓
Referees manage their windows: their own availability
04

Pay statements, without moving money

Set pay rates by division and position. Bloomz counts a game as worked when the referee accepted it, it was played and it has started, and builds a statement for each referee. Mark a batch as paid with your reference and export the statements as a CSV for your treasurer. Bloomz does not charge or pay anyone. Paid is a record that you paid the referee outside Bloomz.

✓
Rates by division and position: priced when you mark paid
✓
A statement per referee: with totals
✓
Mark paid with a reference: and undo a batch
✓
CSV export: for the treasurer
No money moves
A ledger, not a payout
Marking paid records the reference you typed. You can undo a batch if you made a mistake.
Questions we hear

Common questions

Who is the assignor?

The club's athletics director, using the same permission as the League Scheduler. No new role is needed.

Can a referee see their own pay?

Yes. A referee sees their own statement.

Does Bloomz pay referees?

No. Bloomz keeps the ledger. You pay referees however you do today and record it.

Does it check referee credentials?

Not when assigning. Credential tracking for coaches and referees is in Coach Compliance.
