For referees, umpires, and assignors
Assign rugby referees and assistant referees by level
Appoint a referee and two assistants for each match, apply grade and level rules, and notify the crew when a ground or kickoff changes.
Familiar assigning problems
- Three-person crews that have to be placed together at distant grounds
- Grade and appointment rules that decide who can take which match
- Kickoff and ground changes that used to live in a group text
What Horizon already does
Grade and appointment rules
Match referees to grades they are cleared for and keep developing referees on suitable fixtures.
Ground and kickoff conflicts
Spot a referee appointed to two grounds with overlapping kickoffs or too little travel time between them.
Open fixtures as TBA Requests
Post an unfilled fixture so referees can register interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request. You choose who is appointed.
Match fees and expenses
Set match fees by grade and report what each referee is owed. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.
