referees one game at a time, however it gives you
the most control on who is offered the game A
manual assignment process can be done by clicking
on a Preview link Pre from your assigner home page

1. Manual assignment
The manual assignment page will open showing you
details on the game The drop down box will show
you a list of referees that a) are available on
that day b) are qualified high enough for that
game c) wish to attend that field and d) wish
to officiate that division Select which referee
you want and click the Assign Referees button
to send him a game offer via email

The automatic assignment method is the fastest
method of assigning referees. With this method
you use Ref Centres powerful assignment

your options

can leave it unlimited

if he wishes to accept the game or not

you. Just set it up and the the game offers will
