How to add referees and see their workload

Your event’s referees live on the planner’s Referees page. A referee can be someone with a Dodgeball Hub account, or just a name you type for officials who don’t use the app. Teams can referee too: you don’t add them here, but the page counts their games once they’re on some.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event or its referees.
• If referees are locked, unlock them first. See how to lock parts of your event.

Add a referee

1. In your event’s planner, click Referees in the sidebar.

   

2. Click Add Referee.

   

3. To add someone with an account, pick them under Choose a referee: the list holds the people who have a Referee profile on Dodgeball Hub. For anyone else, click Create a new referee.

   

4. Type their First name and Last name. Under Ball Types, you can list the balls they referee: a game’s Refs list then offers them only for divisions that play with one of those balls. Leave it empty for any game. Under Referee Level, pick their level for this event, or leave Default to use the one on their referee profile: the Minimum Referee Level rule reads it.

   

5. Click Add.

   

6. The referee is on the list. Each row shows how many games that referee has on the schedule, so you can see who has the most.

   

Edit or delete a referee

1. Each row ends with two buttons. The pencil opens Edit Referee, with the same fields as when you added them. The bin deletes the referee: click it.

   

2. Click Ok. Deleting a referee also takes them off every game they were on.

   

See how many games each team referees

1. Click the Teams tab.

   

2. Each team that referees games is listed with how many it has.

   

Referees and teams are put on games from the schedule: see how to assign referees automatically and how to put a referee or staff member on a game. To find referees you don’t know yet, the Staffing tab posts the job on the Staffing Marketplace: see how to hire on the Staffing Marketplace.
