For referees, umpires, and assignors
Assign umpires for baseball and softball
Keep crews together, apply eligibility, and close the week from one operation.
Familiar assigning problems
- Crews that should stay together across a slate
- Eligibility, age rules, and last-minute tournament openings
- Payroll that has to match the games already assigned
What Horizon already does
Age and experience rules
Keep newer umpires on the age groups that suit them and reserve advanced games for experienced crews.
Diamond and doubleheader conflicts
Catch an umpire placed on overlapping games or two diamonds before the schedule goes out.
Tournament openings as TBA Requests
When a tournament adds games late, post them so umpires can show interest — Horizon calls that TBA Requests — then choose from those who respond.
Pay that follows the games
Pay umpires from the games they worked, including partial days after a rainout. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.

- Assign plate and base umpires, keep crews together across a slate, or post tournament openings so umpires can show interest — Horizon calls that TBA Requests.

From an assignor who runs this kind of schedule
Time saving, never a miscommunication
After doing our scheduling manually for many years, the Newburgh Umpires Association decided to give Horizon Web Ref a try. The results have been incredible to say the least. Time saving, never a miscommunication and payroll are all tremendous positives made easier for our organization. I highly recommend Horizon Web Ref to anyone considering a scheduling website. I am amazed that every conceivable option regarding changes that may occur are covered.
