Basketball officials working a gym court

For referees, umpires, and assignors

Basketball assigning for referees and assignors

Stack gym nights, apply level rules, and keep officials informed from one operation.

Familiar assigning problems

  • Stacked gym nights and travel between sites
  • Qualifications that differ by level
  • Double-books when officials work more than one group

What Horizon already does

Level-based qualifications

Match officials to varsity, junior varsity, or youth games by level, and keep unqualified officials off the wrong game.

Back-to-back and cross-site conflicts

Warn you when an official is booked at two gyms in the same window or does not have time to drive between them.

Double-headers as TBA Requests

Offer open games on a busy night so officials can show interest — Horizon calls that TBA Requests — then award each slot yourself.

Game fees by level

Pay different fees for varsity and youth games and report totals by official. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.

How basketball assignors run gym nights in Horizon

  1. Build the schedule by site and night, or import it, with levels and game codes attached to each game.
  2. Set qualifications by level so varsity, junior varsity, and youth games draw from the right panel of officials.
  3. Assign a crew of two or three, or post a double-header so officials can show interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request — then award it from the responses.
  4. Send crew notifications, then close the week with payroll reports by official and by site.

Questions buyers ask

Answer

Yes.

Fee structures can differ by level, so a youth game and a varsity game can pay differently.

Answer

Yes.

Each game shows the positions it needs, so you can assign the crew size that fits the level.

Answer

You decide.

You can post open games so officials can say they are interested — Horizon calls that TBA Requests — and you still pick who works.

Answer

Payroll reports are included.

Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only, and fees may apply.
