  1. Add a Column in the schedule view to see the Position

    It would make my life easier if, when viewing the schedule, I could see my position, referee, and linesperson. Add position to details.

  2. Filter TBA Requests by # of Officials per game

    When officials are searching TBA Requests, allow them the ability to filter games by # of Officials. There are officials who only want to work games depending on how many officials are assigned to a game. Games codes often do not depict how many officials are on each game.

  3. Receive TBA emails only for qualified games

    Can you please make it so that it will only show games that we are rated for in "TBA Requests".

  4. Allow an official to set a "max games per day" in their profile and then shut down availability once that number is met.

    ie if I set my max to 2 games, once I have two games accepted in my schedule, close down my availability for that day. Would be great if this showed on the scheduler side as well so that if for instance, they tried to schedule an official for 3 games, it would show them that the official is only interesting in doing 2.

  5. Add a VSP to System Setting 52 to prevent unqualified officials from seeing and requesting games they are not qualified for.

    System setting 52, as is, allows an official to give an assignment to an unqualified official, even with the warning. This results me and assignors getting an "TBA Unqualified Warning!", which then means we now have to react and fix the problem, i.e., reassign the game to a qualified official. That, of course, completely defeats the benefits of allowing officials to swap assignments among themselves.

    The ultimate goal of the TBA System is to ensure the game is covered and has assignments filled however, with system setting 52, officials are trying to swap games that are already covered and assignment…

  6. blocks off availability to all division ( not just the team) when the referee is playing their game

    Have a way in the BLOCK system to make the official unavailable for all games when their team is playing. It is too hard to mark their availability when the game times may change and then they forget to change it.... I deal with a lot of minor refs and it is hard enough to get them to just mark their availability.

  10. Start location by day, or date

    Start location by day, or date. Allow Official to declare starting zip code for each day Mon-Sun which allows for a situation where Official has different start zip on work days. Should be over-writeable (in Availailability) for specific days when you know you'll only be available from (yet another) zip.

  13. Availability to include venue on day to day basis

    Each week we want officials to be able to choose their availability by time and by venue. This would require a drop down menu on the availability day to choose which venue they can work at.

    We operate out of 15 different stadiums for junior basketball, and most officials referee games depending on which venue they are refereeing at.

  17. On your Incident reports. Please put a drop down that gives a choice between 'CAUTION" (or yellow) and "disqualification" (or red) card.

    On your Incident reports. Please put a drop down that gives a choice between 'CAUTION" (or yellow) and "disqualification" (or red) card. That way when I get an incident report I don't have to research whether it is a red or yellow. It would be helpful.

  18. Provide Visible Indication of Inconsistent Availability

    As a member of multiple associations, sometimes I forget to check the (very small) "Apply to all associations" checkbox and my availability gets out of sync, resulting in cranky assignors.

    It would be helpful if there were some visual indication in the availability calendar that the displayed values don't apply to all associations so it's possible to know to check other associations. Maybe a icon in the corner.

  19. Allow Setting Availability via Multiple feature to be Set for Every OTHER week

    I like at least a few others have my kids every other weekend come stay with me. It's be nice if I could set my availability up using the multiple feature where I could "check off" every other week, or "every two weeks. That way the weekends I dont have my kids I can request those days to be available (instead of having to click on each day)...they have it on Gameofficials.net (I requested it there too and they did it...and it gives the ability to set it 52 weeks ahead....)

  20. adds a comment to the response to a TBA notice.

    There is a TBA game that I would like to request, but I can currently only work games as a mentored official. Including a comment to the response would allow me to conditionally request games if when responding to a TBA request, if I could add a comment saying that I can only do games with a mentor at this time.
