What RefOS does

Everything an officiating committee deals with in a season

Nominations and crews

Match days and weekends at a glance, crews by position, clash checks and an optional approval step before a nomination goes out.

Availability

Referees mark the dates they can work, grouped by league and city. Nominations follow it – and after a phone call a scheduler can still add someone outside their availability.

Match day

Crew contacts, meeting point, route map and a crew chat with @mentions. Pregame and postgame reports in the same place.

Payslips and costs

Monthly payslips from the games worked, travel distances and your rate card, exported to PDF. Cost overview per match and competition.

Statistics and history

Games officiated per season and overall, milestones, the season's top officials and games worked outside the association.

Mentoring and development

Evaluations, a weekly digest of notable situations, mentor work reports and a register of rule change proposals.

Notifications and app

Installs on the home screen like an app. Push notifications for nominations and changes on phone and desktop.

Roles and security

Build roles from permissions yourself – scheduler, mentor, committee, referee. Every change is recorded in the audit log.

Documents and certification

A document library for rules and manuals, certification of venues and team kits, kit colour suggestions for every game.

Thanks for filling in your dates!

A little extra

Meet the zebra

Every official has their own zebra. The more dates they say yes to, the more stripes it gets – and it collects a badge for every games milestone: 1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and beyond.

It sounds like a toy, but in practice it is the friendliest reminder to fill in availability. And it shows new officials around the app.

For associations

Your association gets its own RefOS

No shared system where you share data with others. Every association runs its own instance, tailored to how it works.

1

Your own address

The app runs on your association's subdomain – yourassociation.refos.eu – with your logo and colours.

2

Your own database

Your officials' data sits in a separate database and is never mixed with another association's. Access is controlled row by row.

3

Your own rules

Positions, competitions, pay rules, roles and workflows follow your regulations – not the other way round.

4

Your history on day one

We import your schedules, officials and past nominations from Excel, so statistics start with your full history.
