What is Officially Assignor?
A quick walkthrough of how Assignor takes you from a roster of officials to assigned events.
The problem
Spreadsheets, group texts, and a no-show on Saturday.
Running officials by hand means juggling who's available, who's already booked, and who never saw your last message. One missed reply and an event goes uncovered - in front of everyone.
The fix
One system from roster to results.
Assignor keeps your roster, availability, and assignments in one place, then handles the notifications for you. You assign with confidence; officials always know where to be.
What it does
Everything it takes to assign officials to events
The pieces of an assignor's season, in one system instead of five.
Manage referee and official availability
Officials enter the dates and times they can't work, and it lands in the same system you assign from. You stop reconciling a spreadsheet tab against a group text, and you stop starting every week by asking who's around.
Assign events without spreadsheet chaos
Build your schedule of events, then assign officials against the availability you already have. Assignor checks each candidate before you commit - already assigned, unavailable, double-booked at that time, wrong sport, or flagged as a conflict of interest - so problems surface while you can still fix them.
See what's covered and what still needs an official
Every event shows how many slots are filled and how many are open, and unfilled events can be posted to an open-event board that officials claim from. Instead of scrolling a spreadsheet hunting for blanks, you look at what's still short.
Keep officials informed when schedules change
Assignments and changes trigger notifications automatically - in the app and by email - so officials find out when something moves without you sending another round of messages. Officials accept or decline, so an event only counts as covered once someone has said yes.
Replace the spreadsheet-and-text-message workflow
Roster, availability, assignments, responses, and communication live in one place instead of five. When you need to know what happened - who was assigned, when, and by whom - the record is there, along with reports you can export for pay.
Built for leagues, associations, tournaments, and assignors
Assignor is built around the assignor's job, not a generic calendar. Multiple sports, multiple assignors, member sign-up and approval, venues, teams, and read-only access for the people who only need to see the schedule.
Who builds it
Official, but human.
Assignor is built by someone who has competed, coached, and officiated - and spent a career writing software. It exists because the tools for running officials were spreadsheets and group texts, and nothing built for the job was worth what it asked. I build the tool I'd want to use, then stand behind it. Read the full story.
Software shaped by real officiating, held to a standard worth signing.
Roster, availability, assignments, and notifications in one place - not scattered across texts and spreadsheets.
You deal with the person who built it, not a support queue.
Decades inside competition and decades inside code.

Questions
Frequently asked
- What is Assignor?
- Assignor is sports official assigning software: one place to manage your roster of officials, collect their availability, assign them to events, and notify them automatically.
- Is this referee scheduling software or umpire scheduling software?
- Both - they're the same job under different names. Assignor is sport-agnostic: you set up the sports your association covers, and the roster, availability, and assigning work the same way whether your officials are called referees, umpires, judges, or officials.
- Who is it for?
- Associations, leagues, tournaments, and assignors who are responsible for getting the right officials to the right events - and are tired of running it out of spreadsheets and group texts.
- How do officials find out about their events?
- Automatically. When you assign an event or make a change, Assignor notifies the official in the app and by email, so nothing depends on you remembering to send a message. Officials accept or decline, so you can see what is genuinely covered.
- What happens when an official cancels or an event moves?
- Change the assignment and the notification goes out on its own. If the slot is left open, you can post it to the open-event board and let available officials claim it instead of texting the roster one at a time.
- How much does it cost?
- $290 a year, flat, for any association size - every feature included, no per-official pricing, and no add-ons. See the pricing page for the full founding offer.
