How to assign referees automatically

Affectations des arbitres on the Calendrier page fills every game’s referees in one go: a referee from your list (a “main ref”), a refereeing team, or both. It follows your referee assignment rules, keeps the referees and teams you named yourself, and moves no game.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event, its schedule or its referees.
• The event has a schedule. See how to generate your schedule.
• For main refs, your referees are on the Arbitres page. See how to add referees and see their workload.
• If referees are locked, unlock them first. See how to lock parts of your event.

Steps

1. On your event’s Calendrier page, click Affectations des arbitres in the toolbar. In a narrow window, it’s in the ⋮ menu (Plus d’options) at the end of that row.

   

2. Three buttons take referees off and three put them on. Each one acts as soon as you click it, without asking first.

   

3. Click Assigner les équipes et les arbitres principaux.

   

4. Each game card names its referees: the referee from your list first, then the team. If the cards are too small to show them, zoom in with the magnifier buttons at the start of the toolbar.

   

What each button does

• Assigner les arbitres principaux gives each game one referee from your list. It never gives a referee two games that start at the same time, counting the games you gave them yourself. After your soft preferences, the referees with the fewest games so far go first. A game no referee can take is left without one.
• Assigner équipes et arbitres gives each round robin game a team that isn’t playing or refereeing another game starting at the same time, from the game’s division or a division that shares its phase of the blueprint and plays with the same ball type. After your soft preferences, the teams with the fewest refereeing games go first. A playoff game gets a place instead of a named team, and the team shows once results are in: on a court’s first playoff game, a seed that isn’t playing at that time; after that, the loser of the previous game on that court, or a team already knocked out. Ne peut pas arbitrer après une défaite and Ne peut pas arbitrer un match avant de jouer can rule a place out (see referee assignment rules). A game that already has a team or place you picked yourself keeps it and gets no other. When no team is free, the card says Impossible de planifier.
• Assigner les équipes et les arbitres principaux does both.
• Supprimer les arbitres principaux takes every referee from your list off every game, Supprimer les arbitres des équipes takes every team off, and Supprimer tous les arbitres takes both off.

Assigning again replaces the referees the last automatic assignment chose. What you picked yourself stays: referees, teams, and places such as a seed or the winner or loser of a game. Assigner les arbitres principaux leaves every team and place as it is. The three remove buttons take everything off, including what you picked yourself.
