To assign officials to games, log into PLAY at http://play.spordle.com.

Search for games to assign

Then click on Games in the left-hand menu.

All upcoming games for your organization and rinks will be displayed.

You can search for games using specific criteria to find the games that best suit you by selecting the search filters on the left.

Open

The clipboard icon to the right of each game allows you to see the status of the officials for each game.

For example

• If the number on the clipboard is 3, three officials have not yet been assigned to that game.

• If there is a red circle, it means that one or more officials have refused your request.

• If there is a green check mark, it means that all officials have been assigned.

You can hover your mouse over the icon to see a brief description of the status.

Open

Now that we have the assignment status information, let's select a game and assign officials.

To do this, click the clipboard icon to the right of the game where you want to assign officials.

Assigning officials

A pop-up window will inform you of the number of officials who need to be assigned. Click on the Referee line to expand this tab.

The small triangle to the right of the Search box will allow you to filter your search for officials.

By default, the filters Unavailable Officials and Ineligible Officials will be selected.

Other filters available are as follows:

• Expired officials

• Unregistered officials

• New officials

• Local Officials

• Ignore arena availability

You also have the option to sort by the list of attributes you created earlier.

In this case, we have selected only the Local Officials filter. The list of available local officials will be displayed. If no officials are displayed, you must change your search filters and add the Unavailable Officials filter or any other filter.

Suggestions for available officials will be displayed on the right. These officials are available but have not applied for this game.

Select the desired official by clicking on it.

By selecting an official, you will have access to four tabs:

• SUMMARY: Displays the officials' qualifications, availability status, and any conflicts or warnings.

• SCHEDULE: Displays information on officials' availability for the selected game day.

• HISTORY: Displays the official's history, including previous games and officiating roles.

• CONTACT: Displays the officials' contact information.

Click on Assign at the bottom right to send the assignment.

• The system will tell you that the game is pending the official's response until the official refuses or accepts the game.

• If the official refuses the game, it will say Declined. You must remove the official who refused this game to continue assigning another referee.

• If the official accepts, Confirmed with a green tick will be displayed.

• An official can decline an assignment any time, even if the official has already accepted it.

• As the Assigning Official, you can Remove or Swap the role of an official at any time.

Assignment Confirmation or Decline

You will receive an email update of the games confirmed by your officials at the end of each day.

When an official refuses an assignment, an email will be sent immediately to notify you.
