Cricket umpires working a match on a grass pitch

For referees, umpires, and assignors

Assign cricket umpires and match referees by region and panel

Appoint umpires from regional panels, respect level and availability, cover every match, and pay the season from the same record.

Familiar assigning problems

  • Long match days, overlapping fixtures, and umpires who travel between grounds
  • Panel and level rules that decide who can stand in which match
  • Match fees and travel pay that have to match the fixtures actually covered

What Horizon already does

Panel and level eligibility

Keep umpires on the panels and levels they hold, so a top-grade fixture is staffed from the right list.

Availability and overlapping fixtures

Use declared availability, and catch an umpire appointed to two fixtures that overlap or sit too far apart.

Uncovered matches as TBA Requests

When a match still needs an umpire, post it so umpires can show interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request — then appoint from those who respond.

Match fees and pay

Set match fees by level and report what each umpire is owed for the matches covered. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.

How cricket organizers appoint umpires in Horizon

  1. Load the fixture list by region, ground, and competition, with the match format and level on each fixture.
  2. Place umpires on panels and levels, and collect their availability so each fixture shows who can stand.
  3. Appoint on-field umpires, a third umpire, and a match referee, or post uncovered matches so umpires can show interest — Horizon calls that TBA Requests.
  4. Notify appointed umpires of changes and run match fee payroll at the end of the season or pay period.

Questions buyers ask

Answer

Yes.

You can organize umpires and fixtures by region, so each appointment draws from the people who cover that area.

Answer

Yes.

Qualifications and levels control who can be appointed to each fixture.

Answer

Yes.

Umpires can keep their availability current, and you see it when you appoint.

Answer

Horizon tracks match fees and payroll reports.

Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only, and fees may apply, so organizations elsewhere handle the payment itself outside Horizon.
