Game Notifications

The assignr.com notification system allows you a quick and easy way to keep your referees informed of assignments, changes, and any other important information. Most notifications are sent via e-mail, and some notices are also sent by text message if a referee has activated text messaging.

In order to receive notification messages, referees must be registered users on the assignr.com website, and must have an e-mail address.

If an assignor sends login credentials to a referee, the e-mail generated will indicate that the assignor has assigned the referee to some games, and the referee needs to login to the website to view details on these games.

assignr.com sends out e-mail messages automatically for these actions:

• New and Removed Assignments. If a referee is assigned to a game, and the game has been "published", the referee will receive a message and will be asked to accept or decline the game. Games that are "private" will not generate messages. Also, if a referee has been assigned to a game, and the game is changed from "public" to "private", the referee will receive a message stating that they are no longer assigned to the game.
• Game Date/Time/Venue changes. When a date, time, or venue changes, the assigned referees will receive a message informing them of the change, and asking them to re-confirm the game.
• Game Cancellations. If a game is cancelled, or if a cancelled game is changed to Active (e.g. "un-cancelled"), the assigned referees will be asked to re-confirm the game.
• Game attribute changes. If any other game attribute changes (other than date/time/venue/public-private/active-cancelled), the referees will be informed of the change but will not be required to re-confirm the game.
• Assignment Reminders. Assigned referees will receive an e-mail reminder 24-48 hours prior to the game start time.
• Accept/Decline Reminders. If a referee has been asked to confirm their assignments, and they have not done so, they will receive a daily reminder message. The message will remind the referee of the unconfirmed assignments, and ask them to confirm the assignments on the assignr.com website.
• Accept/Decline Status. If a referee declines a game, the assignor will get an immediate e-mail notification. A daily e-mail is also generated that lists all games accepted within the last 24 hours, and also lists those games that have not yet been confirmed.

assignr.com will not send notifications when a game is:

• unpublished, or
• occurs in the past.

You can safely make changes to unpublished games, and past games, without generating a notification to a referee.

No configuration is required to generate these messages.

In addition, the assignr.com service allows referees and assignors to generate e-mail messages as a way to improve communication among referees and assignors.
