Managing Referees

Referees officiate matches during tournaments. Registering them in your community's People directory is the first step to assigning them to tournaments and generating their access links.

Adding a referee​

  1. Go to Dashboard → People (Personas).
  2. Click Add person or the + button.
  3. Select Referee as the person type.
  4. Fill in:
    • First name and Last name
    • DNI / ID number (recommended)
    • Birthday
    • Gender
    • Referee type — the classification level of the referee
    • Club — club affiliation (optional)
    • Email and Phone (optional)
    • Profile photo (optional)
  5. Click Save.

Referee types​

Referee types classify the certification level of a referee (e.g., national referee, regional referee, club referee). The available types are configured by your community administrator.

Assigning referees to a tournament​

Once a referee exists in your People directory:

  1. Open the tournament.
  2. Go to Referees in the tournament side navigation.
  3. The referee will appear in the available list and can be selected for match assignments.

See Tournament Referees for step-by-step assignment instructions.

Referees can access their assigned matches via a unique link — no platform account required:

  1. Open the tournament's Referees section.
  2. Find the referee.
  3. Click Generate link or the share icon.
  4. Copy and send the link to the referee.

See Referee Panel for what referees see when they open their link.

Referee certifications​

You can track referee certifications using the Validations system. Create a validation type for referee certifications (e.g., "Level 2 Certified"), then assign it to the referee's profile. See Validations for details.
