Australian football

AFL umpire rostering for field, boundary and goal.

Every match needs a crew of umpires in three different roles — and a community league runs them across grounds all weekend. Time, Umpire! rosters every umpire in every role, tracks their development, and sends each one their match on the app.

Three kinds of umpire, every match

Australian football asks more of its umpiring than most codes. A single match needs field umpires — often more than one — plus boundary umpires and goal umpires, each a distinct role with its own numbers. Multiply that across a community league playing on grounds all over the region, week after week, and the roster is a genuine logistical exercise, not a quick list.

Time, Umpire! handles the crew with custom roles, so field, boundary and goal are each their own slot to fill, and you can put several field umpires on the one match. Build the round on the grid across every ground, and each umpire gets their match, their role and their venue on the app — then confirms in a tap. Coaches and supervisors can be allocated too, so development happens on the same roster as the appointments.

For football leagues

What AFL leagues get.

Field, boundary & goal

Each umpire role is its own position, and you can allocate several field umpires to the one match.

Every ground, one grid

Unlimited grounds and timeslots, so a whole league's weekend rosters from a single screen.

Umpire coaching

Allocate mentors and supervisors to matches to coach and assess, with accreditation levels tracked per umpire.

Junior umpires

Guardian accounts let parents manage an under-18 umpire's login and chat, so your youngest umpires are on board safely.

Availability & confirmations

Umpires set availability for the round and confirm their matches in the app — you roster from what's real.

Timekeepers & any role

Timekeepers, scorers, goal reviewers — add any additional role your league runs and roster it alongside the umpires.

Chat & notifications

Push the roster and announcements to phones and run group chat for the umpiring group.

Questions

Australian football, answered.

Can it roster field, boundary and goal umpires?

Yes. Custom and additional roles let you allocate field, boundary and goal umpires to the same match, each as its own position, and you can put several field umpires on a game.

Does it handle a league across many grounds?

Yes. The grid works for grounds just as it does for courts, so a weekend of matches across a whole league is rostered from one screen, with no limit on grounds or timeslots.

Can I support umpire coaching and development?

Yes. Mentors and supervisors can be allocated to matches to coach and assess umpires, and accreditation levels are tracked against each umpire.

Does it work for junior umpires?

Yes. Guardian accounts let parents manage an under-18 umpire's login and chat access, so junior umpires are on board safely.
