SKED lets you add the names of officials or teams to be umpires or referees for games. Names added in this way can then be easily assigned to fixtures.
There are two potential methods for allocating officials.
1. By entering officials through Organisations Settings
2. Where officials have registered on a Referee/Umpire Registration SuperForm
1. By entering officials through Organisations Settings
From your Organisation Settings area, click the Officials tab.
Adding an Official to SKED competition
i) Click +Add Official.
ii) Enter the name and type of the official. An official can be a person or a team. You can enter notes for your own private use to help guide your allocation of officials. These notes are never visible to the public.
Note: If you remove a draw from the calendar after officials have been added, these will need to be re-added once the draw is returned to the calendar.
Modifying an Official
Click the settings cog next to the official’s name to update their settings.
Deleting an Official
Click the trashcan symbol next to the official’s name to delete them from your list.
2. Where officials have registered on a Referee/Umpire Registration SuperForm
If your organisation is using a SuperForm to register officials (for example, the NZ Rugby Referee Registration form, Netball Umpire Registration form, or NZ Rugby League Match Official Registration form) then this database of registered officials can automatically become available for selection and allocation to fixtures within SKED. Additionally, these officials can be granted permission to submit a result for the fixture through the Sporty Game Day app.
Go into SKED, Draws & Results, click +Add in the Officials column.
This will open a modal, start typing the officials name and it will display the official to select.
Competition administrators will be unable to add/modify/delete officials directly from SKED. To amend their details is through Online Registrations area, then click on the official registration form, search for the official and edit their details.
