Prefix and Suffix on Game Number
Ability to put a prefix and suffix on game code to be able to more easily determine where the game came from. With over 3000 games a year it can get confusing.
If a pre/suffix isn't possible, can you make the game number more than 8 characters to accomodate this feature? I could put it in the game number to help out.34 votesgathering community support · -
Send a unique email when a game is edited (changed)
Today, when a game is edited (date, time, or field), the assigned officials get a message that makes it appear they have received a new game. Then, some officials wonder what happened to the other game, the one that disappeared. Its the same game, only its at a new date or time. It is confusing for officials.
My idea is when a game is changed, send the assigned officials a message: Game #12345 has been changed. The date or time or field has been updated. You must re-accept the game.29 votes -
Auto Decline Feature Per Game
Allow the auto decline feature to work on a single game rather then system wide. When assigning a game, have a field to populate a date for each individual game. Some games I want them to respond to sooner then other games.

recurring meeting
I would like to have the option to add a recurring meeting, similar to the recurring game. We have a general meeting every week during the season and I'd like to be able to add a weekly meeting.

View Games on a calendar
I suggest that one of the views you should make is a calendar view, so it would be easier to see just how many games we have scheduled for a single day... much easier to view and ask AD's to make adjustments to their games.

Notify Assignor of TBA Swap from Official to Official
With 50+ Games a day, it is tough to keep track of all your officials and if they actually got someone to take their games. Can we get a notification system that email / text messages the assignor to let us know "X" official sent "X" assignment(s) on "X" date to "Y" official? This would be extremely helpful to have and allow us to quickly view the assignment to make sure pay-rates and whatever is good!
Thank you

shows the history of when people update their availability
Be able to see what date people updated their availability on. We have an issue where we schedule tournaments for a weekend and then after it's done, we get officials wondering why they didn't get assignment and their availability shows them free. It would be nice to know if they switched their availability after the scheduling was done.

Travel Distance Restrictions
I want to be able to restrict the distance I'm willing to travel from a given zip code for each day of the week. For example, I can't accept games until after 5pm M-F due to my day job which is easy enough to set up in my "Availability", but I would also like to restrict any games I'm assigned to within 5 miles of my job.

Sort assigning window by "Prior Game"
When assigning, allowing to sort by Prior game will ensure that officials are working on a more regular basis

Time between seeing the same team
Allow assignors to set a minimum number of days between reffing the same team. Right now, if a team plays three home games in a week, the system would show the same official available for all three. I would like a switch, which was in our old system, to allow us to set a number of days for officials between seeing the same team. For instance, if an official was put in on the 1st of the month to officiate a team, and the number of days between games was 14, he wouldn't show up on the availability for that…

Highlight games that are not fully assigned in the Master Schedule
I see that you have declined this request in the past, but please reconsider.
When you have a busy schedule it would be much more efficient to be prompted in the schedule itself for missing assignments..even if the # column highlighted, or changed colors.
When you have many games with a limited number of officials its beneficial to view missing slots with the surrounding assignments....this is why filters aren't necessarily the best option

allow game notes to be posted under the game edit feature
Place the game notes section in the game edit area. This way you can add notes detailing reasons for any changes made to a particular game rather than having to make the change, close the game editor, and open the notes feature.

Have the system warn you when an official has had a team or been at a site fairly recently.
For example, have the system alert the assigner that Jim Smith had the Springfield Warriors within the past 14 days (or whatever time frame the assigner chooses - maybe give the options for 7, 14 or 21 days) Same thing for the location (instead of a certain team)

Track TBAs posted by schedulers
Track the number of TBAs issued by scheduler.
How many TBAs they are posting and how many days in advance those TBAs are being posted. This would be helpful in grading assignors/schedulers.This would track games being posted rather than being accepted

Create Contact Groups based on distance / region
Allow you to create a contact group of all officials within a certain regional area, maybe by selecting off the map.
I assign as part of a national association and only want to reach my officials in a small area. Instead of going thru the thousands of people one by one it would be much easier to put up the map or sort by distance to select my officials for my group.

Notes while adding game
It would be nice if a Game Note could be added while adding a single game so that we don't have to back out, go to the schedule, and then add the game note afterwards.

When adding games, please add to the drop down menu an option to add team so that we don't have to go through the menu.

Allow only certain Game Types or Leagues to be TBA'd
We currently have three assignors and need a way for only one assignor's game types to be TBA'd by officials. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I believe the TBA system is either all on or all off.

Mandatory Meeting
When creating Meetings, an option to make the meeting mandatory should be available. By selecting the mandatory option, the meeting would function similar to a game in that it will show on the officials calendar and effect official availability. Conversely, an non-mandatory meeting would continue to function as it does today.
As officials' individual calendars can be shared among different associations/leagues and update simultaneously, this would help officials manage their calendars and availability better. It would also assist in preventing assignors from in other associations/leagues from scheduling the official when they need to attend a meeting.
