For referees, umpires, and assignors
Football officiating operations in one place
Assign crews, apply position rules, and notify officials when Friday night changes.
Familiar assigning problems
- Crews that travel together
- Qualifications by position and level
- Game-day changes that used to live in a group text
What Horizon already does
Position-by-position qualifications
Require the right experience for referee and other crew positions, and keep newer officials on lower levels.
Crew and overlapping game conflicts
See when an official is in two crews on the same night or when a Thursday game leaves too little rest before Friday.
Short crews as TBA Requests
When a crew loses an official, post the open position so others can show interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request — then award it from the interested officials.
Pay by position
Set fees by position and level and report what each official earned. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.
How football assignors run a Friday night in Horizon
- Load the season by week and site, with level and game code on every game.
- Set position and level qualifications so referees, umpires, and wing officials come from the right pool.
- Assign full crews by position, or open a short-handed game so officials can show interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request — then award the missing spots.
- Notify the crew about kickoff changes, then pay crews by position at the end of the period.

From an assignor who runs this kind of schedule
Al Sterling
HorizonWebRef.com has cut my day to day scheduling workload in half. I now rely on the system, as well as the officials I assign to do the communication (email/text) grunt work. I no longer have to "negotiate" schedule offerings / accepts or declines manually via email. - Great Product - Even better when I have to submit payroll as the readily available reports are there instantly and accurate. I very much trust this system and hardily recommend it to fellow schedulers - regardless of the specific sport.
