Temporary Official Name
Be able to type in a officials name assigned to a game while I am waiting on them to activate their account. This would help show schools and partners temporarily who their partner is in last minute situations.
1 voteUnfortunately, we have decided not to incorporate this. Thank you for submitting an idea, though.

Blocks partners and programs
I worked with a guy I no longer want to work with.
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can use the “Partner Block System” from the Administrative Forms, if your organization allows it. If you don’t see the option, then your organization does not allow you to block partners and you would need to contact them for further details. Thank you.

We should have a calendar view of everyone available (so when we schedule per month we can make it even as possible)
have a calendar view that list all available officials wanting to work a particular rink during that month so it can be assigned based on fairness per month

Be able to select Refs by Choice Location
I don't like the "Leave City" because they're are quite a few around here, and therefore it's hard to get a balance of officials because you're constantly scrolling to different cities. Should be a column of choice of where to officiate and then if I am doing on particular rink, should be able to select on all officials who have that rink listed
1 voteThis feature generally exists already. Your officials should be using the Location Block System to specify their preferences on which locations they wish to work. The system will then automatically filter the list for you based on their selections. Thank you for submitting an idea.

filter out emails for request form users based on distance
filter out emails for request for officials based on distance
It's foolish to get requests for an official when you live 400 miles away!
1 voteThis feature already exists and is controlled by your scheduler. If your scheduler is sending you too many requests, you should talk with them about using geolocations for determining who to send the request to. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Have the ability to bill a league for a canceled game without paying the officials
This idea may have already been suggested but I have not been able to find it. What I would like to be able to do is charge a league for a canceled game but not have to pay the officials for the game. This feature could also be used to charge a league a late game add fee without having to go manually update the billing information for one of the officials. I would like to see this added to the "Game Detail" window similar to where the "Notes" are. The feature could resemble the "Pay Adjustment" feature for the…
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can bill a league for a cancelled game and not pay the officials by marking the game billable and entering a deduction to the official(s) on the particular game fee structure. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Change Calendar Event Titles
Not sure if this is set by the system, or the local association, but having every single Event Title show "Game Assignment: [Insert officiating association name]" is very unhelpful. Especially for mobile views, being able to have the Ice Rink that the game is be the first part of the title is a huge help for me. I know which association I'm part of, so that info could go into the Event Details instead of the title.
Instead of:
Title: Game Assignment: Treasure Valley Ice Hockey Officials AssociationI would like this:
Title: Officiate at CenturyLink ArenaWe have a…
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can customize your event title that is populated to Google Calendar from within your Personal Profile using the Settings button next to the Google Integration option. To accomplish what you want, you would enter Officiate at {location} into the title section and the system will enter the exact title you’re looking for and will dynamically replace {location} with the location name of your assignment. Thank you.

Observer Evaluations by Selection
Often times we have officials on site prior or post to games in progress. A nice feature would be to select individual officials to have "observer" status or evaluation capability on selected games. Rather than having to issue an official a general observer status site wide.
in this way, if we have experienced officials on site prior to any assignments they may have. Can take the time to submit evaluation(s) of ongoing games.
A tag/icon potentially in the game details where we can pull down from the officials list a name and it will open up the evaluation option to…
1 voteWhat you’re describing already exists via the Fellow Officials Ratings system. Instead of using the Observer Ratings system which is open for observers to evaluate any game, you would use the Fellow Officials Ratings system to “assign” the observer to a specific game and then require them to submit an evaluation for only the games they are assigned to. Thank you for submitting an idea.

Create an individual assignment history link
Create a function that allows an assignor to click on the name of an available official (that he/she does not know) and quickly see a history of assignment levels worked by the individual, even if assigned by others. This would help to identify if an individual has prior experience in similar/comparable game levels and eliminate the need for an assignor to leave their scheduling screen and view a public schedule of the individual's history and streamline the scheduling process a bit.

We’ve performed a number of detailed studies on this topic and we are not in favor of utilizing an Available-By-Default option. You can see details on our analysis at the following knowledge base article:

Exportable Availability Tracker
Can you set up a system where I can export all games and available referees for any given day to Excel or something. Something that would list referees down one side and all required games on another. Then shade out what they either aren't available for or don't meant the manual ranking score for? Thanks.

"Un-Link Feature"
There should be a way to unlink games in case they are linked by mistake. I only ask because there have been too many times where I try to re-link games together after making this mistake and it still does not fix the problem. It only makes sense to have a function to unlink games.
1 voteThis feature already exists. You can unlink games by clicking on the link icon to the left of the game(s) that are linked. Hope that helps. Thank you.

Manually override mileage distance
Allow the mileage to be manually overridden. This will solve problems where the amount to be paid for mileage is the same from town to town (no matter the officials location within that town).
3 votesIt’s not possible to override the actual calculated mileages, but a feature already exists that will handle this situation. If you want to pay officials from a certain area the same amount for traveling to a certain location, you would use Flat-Rate mileages and set a distance range that the reimbursement amount applies for.

Allow for Use of Different Users
We would like to have different labels for users that we can assign to games. Specifically:
"Officials"...we use now, but lets call them "Member Officials". This would be used for fully registered local officials.
"Scorekeepers" ... let's call them Off-Ice Officials or Scorekeepers. This would be used for names specifically and exclusively assigned as scorekeepers with our clients. They need to be separated out from our Member Officials.
"Guest Officials" ... let's call them Guest Officials. These names would be for guest accounts for NON-registered members of our association, ie out of town official.
All three pools of Officials need…

differentiate between boys and girls officials
Our association assigns both boys and girls lacrosse tournaments. we need a feature where by when the officials register they can check if they are a boys or a girls lacrosse official. We should be able to create that for the form when they register.
2 votesThis feature already exists. You can defferentiate between boys and girls officials using a number of different features. You can use the Game Code or Position block systems to classify and rule-out ineligible officials. You can also use the Custom Profile Fields option to collect information from your officials.
