How to set referee assignment rules

Referee rules guide 裁判指派, which puts referees and teams on all your games in one go (see how to assign referees automatically). They live in the 裁判分配規則 tab of your event’s settings. Saving a rule changes no game: it applies the next time you assign referees automatically. Referees you put on a game yourself don’t have to follow it.

Without any rule, automatic assignment gives each game one referee from your list and one refereeing team, and, unless a rule allows it, never gives anyone it picks two games that start at the same time. Referees and teams you put on a game yourself count too: they aren’t given another game at that time, and their games count toward the rules below. Teams are taken from the game’s division, or from a division that shares its phase of the blueprint and plays with the same ball type. There’s no setting for how many referees a game needs: to add more, put them on the game yourself (see how to put a referee or staff member on a game). Teams referee only when you assign team refs or put a team on a game; to choose which teams, add an 允許擔任裁判的隊伍 rule.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event, its schedule or its referees.
• If referees are locked, the rules are locked too. See how to lock parts of your event.

Steps

The steps add an 允許擔任裁判的隊伍 rule, so that only the teams you choose referee. Every rule type is added the same way.

1. In your event’s planner, click 設定 at the bottom of the sidebar.

   

2. Open the 裁判分配規則 tab.

   

3. Under 硬性規則, click 新增規則. For a soft preference instead, use 新增偏好設定 under 軟性偏好設定.

   

4. Choose 允許擔任裁判的隊伍. The new rule opens.

   

5. Under 隊伍, pick the teams that may referee. The summary at the top of the rule says what it does.

   

6. Click 儲存所有設定變更.

Hard rules and soft preferences

• 硬性規則 must be met. Assignment skips anyone who would break one, and a game nobody can take is left without that referee.
• 軟性偏好設定 only rank who goes first, and never leave a game without a referee. Each has a weight slider for how much it counts. Four types can be soft preferences: 同一球場偏好, 平衡工作量, 裁判/隊伍排除 and 自訂條件.

In most rules, 適用於 picks who it covers: 所有裁判, 僅限官方人員 (the referees on your list) or 僅限隊伍. 比賽類型 keeps it to 僅限循環賽 or 僅限季後賽. Where a rule below follows 範圍, 特定組別 covers the games of the divisions you pick, 特定隊伍 the teams you pick, and 特定裁判 the referees you pick from your list; with none picked, it covers no one. Every rule has a switch to turn it off without deleting it, and a bin to delete it. Click a rule’s title to open or close it.

最大同時裁判數

For teams. Sets under 最大同時進行的球場數 how many games a team can referee at the same time, on different courts. Without it, a team referees one game at a time. A referee from your list always gets one game at a time.

最多連續指派

Limits how many time slots in a row a referee or team works, to the number under 最多連續比賽場數 (3 if you leave it empty). Sitting out one time slot, a break on the schedule included, or starting a new day begins the count again; the minutes between games don’t matter. A team that plays in between has sat out too. Games you put them on yourself count. Follows 範圍.

允許擔任裁判的隊伍

Only the teams you pick under 隊伍 referee. Without it, any team can.

組別裁判自身組別

Teams only referee games of the division they play in. A game with no free team in its own division gets no team referee rather than one from another division.

組別指派

The teams you pick under 隊伍 only referee games of the divisions under 允許的分組. While this rule is on, the teams it doesn’t list can be given games in any division too.

群組互相裁判

For divisions split into groups. Under 群組如何配對:

• 每個群組裁判我選擇的群組: for each group you list, pick under 可以裁判 the groups its teams may referee. Groups you don’t list are left free.
• 只互相裁判的一組群組: the teams of the groups you pick only referee those groups’ games. 同時禁止其他所有群組裁判這些群組的比賽 also keeps every other team off them.

Only group play is affected: playoff games belong to no group.

輸掉比賽後無法擔任裁判

For playoffs. The loser of a game never referees the next game of the team that beat it. When the loser of the previous game on the court would, automatic assignment gives the game to a team already knocked out, or to a seed that isn’t playing, instead. Round robin games aren’t affected.

Follows 範圍, but which team fills a playoff place isn’t known yet when referees are assigned, so only 全域 (所有) and 特定組別 do anything here.

比賽前無法擔任裁判

For teams. A team doesn’t referee a round robin game of the team it plays next, nor a playoff game whose winner or loser it may play next, such as a seed with a bye refereeing the game that decides its opponent. Automatic assignment gives the game to another team or place instead.

Follows 範圍. On playoff places, only 全域 (所有) and 特定組別 apply, for the same reason as above.

裁判/隊伍排除

Keeps a referee or a team off the games of the teams you pick. Set 範圍 to 特定裁判 or 特定隊伍 and pick who, then list under 排除的隊伍 the teams they shouldn’t referee.

裁判不可用時段

Keeps referees off games that start during a time window: pick a 天 or 所有日期, then a 開始時間 and an 結束時間. A day without times blocks that whole day. To block one referee or one team, set 範圍 to 特定裁判 or 特定隊伍 and pick them.

球種認證

Gives a referee from your list only the games of divisions that play with one of their 球種 (see how to add referees). A referee with no ball types can take any game.

最低裁判等級

For referees from your list. Only referees at or above the level under 最低等級 get the games it covers. From lowest to highest: 受訓者, 初級, 已認證, 高級, 主裁判.

A referee’s level is the 裁判等級 you set when adding them to the event (see how to add referees). Left on 預設, the level on their referee profile counts. A referee with no level at all gets none of these games.

To cover only some playoff games, pick their stages under 季後賽階段 (可選). Left empty, the rule covers every game 比賽類型 allows. Follows 範圍.

平衡工作量

As a soft preference, favours the referees and teams with the fewest games so far. Even without it, those with the fewest games are tried first.

As a hard rule, nobody gets more than one game ahead of whoever has the fewest: among all the referees on your list, or among the teams that could referee the game. Someone who can’t take games for a while, blacked out or playing, holds the others back, so some games can be left without a referee. Follows 範圍.

同一球場偏好

As a soft preference, favours keeping a referee or team on the court of the last game they refereed. As a hard rule, a referee or team stays all day on the court of their first game that day. Follows 範圍.

自訂條件

Builds your own IF/THEN rule. 當 narrows the games and referees it looks at. 則 says whether they 必須符合 or 必須不符合 the conditions you add there. Conditions can look at the referee’s type (official or team) and the game’s court, round, type or playoff stage.
