A stadium with six courts, games running back-to-back and two referees on each — domestic basketball is a scheduling puzzle. Time, Umpire! lays it out as a grid, fills it from real availability, and puts every referee's night on their phone.
Domestic basketball runs at volume. A single stadium can turn over dozens of games in an evening across several courts, most needing a two-referee crew, and the same referees are back again on another weeknight and on the weekend. Scheduling that by spreadsheet means constant re-checking of who's free, who's double-booked and which court is short.
Time, Umpire! turns it into a live grid — courts across the top, timeslots down the side — where you drop referees into crews and instantly see the gaps. Referees set their availability across every night the competition runs, confirm their allocated games in the app, and get a reminder before tip-off. When a court is short, you know before the game does.
Put more than one official on a game — two-ref crews are simple, and you can add a supervisor or coach on top.
Unlimited courts and timeslots on one grid — a whole stadium's evening in a single view.
Referees set availability by date and slot, so a comp spread across several nights and a Saturday rosters from one place.
Track accreditation levels so the right grade of referee is matched to the right grade of game.
Referees confirm their games in the app and get a nudge before tip-off — fewer no-shows, less last-minute scrambling.
Table officials, scorers, timekeepers — add any role you run and slot them into the grid alongside the referees.
Push the schedule and announcements to phones and run group chat, instead of a dozen separate text threads.
Yes. Each game can carry more than one official, so two-referee crews are straightforward, and you can add supervisors or coaches on top.
Yes. The grid is courts across the top and timeslots down the side, so a stadium running four or six courts through the evening is exactly the layout it expects — courts and timeslots are unlimited.
Yes. Referees set availability by date and timeslot, so a competition spread across several weeknights and a Saturday is all handled from the one grid.
Yes. Record accreditation levels against each referee so the right grade of official is matched to the right game.
