Pickleball tournament match with players on opposite sides of the net

For referees, umpires, and assignors

Assign pickleball tournament officials from one operation

Assign pickleball tournament officials for officiated events—not self-officiated recreation. Cover courts and divisions, notify referees and line judges, and close pay from one place.

Familiar assigning problems

  • Many courts and divisions to staff in one tournament day
  • Medal rounds that need your strongest pickleball officials
  • Paying a large tournament officiating staff after a long weekend

What Horizon already does

Division and round eligibility

Reserve medal rounds for qualified officials and keep newer officials on earlier rounds.

Court and session conflicts

Flag an official assigned to two courts in the same session.

Open courts as TBA Requests

Post open matches so officials can show interest — Horizon calls that TBA Requests — then review who is interested and award each court.

Pay for tournament staff

Report what each official earned over the tournament. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.
