How to assign referees automatically

Atribuições de arbitragem on the Cronograma 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 Árbitros 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 Cronograma page, click Atribuições de arbitragem in the toolbar. In a narrow window, it’s in the ⋮ menu (Mais opções) 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 Atribuir equipes e árbitros principais.

   

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

• Atribuir árbitros principais 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.
• Atribuir árbitros às equipes 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. Não Pode Arbitrar Após Derrota and Não Pode Arbitrar Partida Antes de Jogar 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 Não foi possível agendar.
• Atribuir equipes e árbitros principais does both.
• Remover árbitros principais takes every referee from your list off every game, Remover árbitros das equipes takes every team off, and Remover todos os árbitros 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. Atribuir árbitros principais leaves every team and place as it is. The three remove buttons take everything off, including what you picked yourself.
