Option for referees to bid on Games
Presently all referees can see the weekly games schedule under my schsdule.
Suggest an option be added once a referee views this schedule, he or she should be able to bid on this game.
This would be useful for younger referees.
Have an option only 5 people can bid and the Assignr can decide who to award the game to1 voteThis functionality already exists via the TBA System.

Scheduling
Create a way to sync the game schedule on Horizon to an iPhone Calendar. I put everything in my calendar and I have to manually enter every single game, so an automatic entry into the iPhone calendar once a game is accepted would be nice.

allows teams to check if refs are assigned to their games
As our associations use different software to schedule games and sometimes information from association to ref assignors gets missed, we require coaches to check 3 to 4 days before game date/time to make sure game is in the system(minimal info required). Our ref association had this in their previous software and it would be very helpful.
Essentially, all that is required is a listing of games in your system sorted by date.
You could have a page designed with an input field of association, level of play and date, and the output would be a simple list of date/time, game…

Umpire Profile/History
I would like a spot to put in information about an umpires history/experience. Maybe a "Bio" section? Something that either the umpire or the admin could update and then when two umpires have never worked together before, they can go to this information and have an idea of who they will be working with (as an umpire). So a spot that umpires or admin could put past umping experiences and levels. ie - worked the 1999 Little league world series, or has umpired at the high school level, etc. Basically a way to list an umpires experience.

shows which field you're on
I think you should add a feature that tells the refs which field you're on for that game.

Game details in assignment notice
Referees need to see the game details to know if they need to look at the game faster. If they see the game is in the next few days, they know to login immediately confirm. If it's just the normal informationless indication that doesn't convey an urgent need to login right away, that makes extra work for the assignor chasing them to reply.
The previous reason for declining this at https://horizonwebref.uservoice.com/forums/66397-feature-requests/suggestions/1536029-have-the-game-details-in-the-email-that-is-sent-ou was poor. This should be a group setting decision based on what the group thinks is best for their needs.

Assignment Larger acceptance / rejection buttons/icons
The acceptance and rejection of game buttons are very small and very close together. It would be very easy to hit the wrong button. Especially with fingers on a touch device.
4 votesUnfortunately, we’ve decided not to incorporate this at this time. Our touch device interfaces already feature larger icons and we don’t plan to change the desktop / laptop icon sizes at this time. Thanks for submitting an idea.

View of appointment role and team
This may already be available and being a new user I am not familiar enough with the ssystem. When an assignment is provided to me to accept, is there a view of that assignment available to me prior to accepting it that provides the following information:
- the other official being appointed to the same match
- the role I am being appointed to e.g. referee, assistant referee etc.Thank in advance (especially if this is already available :) )

allows parents of kids under 13 to obtain a horizon account for their child
Currently Horizon doesn't allow a person under 13 to have their own account. I understand there may be laws that require this. However, there is a need to have a Parent/Guardian account for their child. I have a lot of kids that are 12 (legal in the state I live) that can and do work games as both referees and timekeeper. I need a way to get them into the system with out "lying" about their age during registration process on the site. I also need an accurate age on them so I can assure I do not assign them…
3 votesUnfortunately, collecting information from or about children under the age of 13 is not something we can offer at this time. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Edit availability for remainder of day with assignments already scheduled
I understand once I have an assignment, I can not edit my availability for that specific time window. But I should still be able to edit my availability for the remainder of the day that I am not assigned to. Would appreciate some insight on this if there is a reason for this or if I am missing something.

Allow arena preferences to be Preferred or Acceptable
Allow arena preferences to be Preferred or Acceptable, rather than active or blocked for assigning purposes.
By having the ability to split your arenas into the arenas that you prefer to go to, and which are acceptable to go to, this would allow for the administrators/assignors/payroll people, to add mileage to officials where an arena is acceptable. For example, if I am willing to travel to an arena that is 50 KM away from my home, I would list it as acceptable and could be assigned there if needed... I wouldn't want to be assigned there on a permanent basis,…
