The Official Coordinator then reviews their information and accepts them as a league official. Additional preference and ability info including the official level is added at this time. 

There can be 1 or more levels that can be assigned to an official based on what level of games the official can work. A preference of A,B or C is assigned too. This is used by the automatic assignment process and A's are chosen first, then B's. A C preference is for manual assignment only.

This same level is also assigned to a division/age group so the automatic official assignor can match officials to appropriate games.

Logins/passwords are created and sent to the new officials. 

Officials can login and see / update their profile, their availability, their chosen areas (if areas are used) and they can see their assigned games (and previous games too) and complete the game reports.

Auto assignment takes several factors into consideration when matching an official to a game. This includes:

for various reasons you may want to change the automatic assignment results or the automatic assignment failed for certain games (could not find a match).

For a failed auto assignment, you may need to assign someone out of there normal Official level manually. The manual method will still give you warnings about placing an official to an inappropriate game but you can still by-pass the warning. 

Three other officials can be assigned to a game as well.

Once Official(s) are assigned to a game, their status is 'Ready' (to send ack request).

A batch email is sent to all officials with the 'Ready' status. This email include details of the game and requires the official to accept or decline the game. 

The official schedule show the current statuses of all officials assigned to games.

For declined statuses, new officials need to be assigned and the send/acknowledgement process repeats.

Assignment/communication history for each game can also be viewed so you don't re-assign the same official that has already declined.

The declined history is also kept and available to the official coordinator. If there are too many declines, the official coordinator might change the officials preference.

A game report could include:

• Game score.
• Player stats (goal scorers).
• Player Discipline (red card, yellow card, ejections, penalties).
• Team staff Discipline (ejections, cautions).
• Team-game obligations (field lined, corner flags, time keeper/linesman/official supplied).
• User defined requirements.

There may be game suspensions and/or fines associated team-game obligations and discipline but this is not included as part of the game report. If there is discipline or fine based actions, the discipline committee gets an email notification and team staff get notifications of their discipline/fines. A game report confirmation copy goes to the referee as well.

Standings are separated for each division/pool group (division/age group/pool group for youth clubs).

Goal scorer summary is also generated based on pool (and if goal scorers are entered).

Different pools can be created for cup play.

Any discipline/infraction or find must be reviewed and either approved, cancelled or waived. Discipline duration and fine amount can be adjusted at this time too. Notes can be added by the discipline committee as well.

There is a 'team staff' view, 'team player' view and 'public' view. Depending on the view, certain features may or may not be available/visible.

Here are some of the extras...
