Find and Select matches for Self-Assign

61 STEPS

1. This tutorial shows how to find matches available for self-assign, select it, and notify the assignor if it needs to be turned back.

2. To start, click Self Assign in the menu.

3. Matches made available for self-assign by the assignor, and which you are eligible for, will display here.

4. Click the arrow to expand the Guide.

5. To be eligible for self-assign, an assignor needs to add you to the pool they use for self-assigned matches.

Navigate to the Your Assignors section on the home page to contact your assignor and verify you are in their pool.

6. Once confirmed you are eligible, you will go to the Self Assign item in the menu.

7. This tutorial will review how to Use Filters Effectively to help you find matches that suit your preferences.

8. Then we'll see how to Select and Confirm Matches.

9. Maximize Your Opportunities by keeping your availability updated, acting quickly, and balancing your workload.

Note that assignors may limit the number of self-assigned matches an official can do in a day.

10. For Common Issues and Solutions, see this area of the guide.

11. Click the arrow again to collapse the guide.

12. We currently see all matches assignors in the account have made available and which this official is eligible for.

Click Filters to help narrow this list.

13. Click Max Drive Time to expand the dropdown. This filter helps find matches that are within a certain drive time between your home address and the match site.

14. For this example, we will choose 30 minutes.

15. To narrow the list of matches displayed between specific dates, click Start Date.

16. For this example, we'll select Sept 2nd as our start date.

17. Click End Date

18. For this example, we'll select Sept 30th as our end date.

19. Click Apply Filters

20. It's possible that no matches will meet the filter criteria previously set. If that occurs, we'll need to adjust our filters.

21. Click Filters

22. Let's remove the Max Drive Time filter for this example.

23. To remove a Maximum Drive Time, click the blank row at the top of the list.

24. Click Apply Filters

25. Now we see several available matches. You can do advanced filtering, sorting, or grouping of matches using the Actions button. Or for quick filtering, you can click on any of the column headers to select an item.

26. For example, if we wanted to focus on a specific City, click the City column header and select the city of interest.

27. The filter we set is shown here.

28. Only the matches in Germantown are now displayed.

29. To remove the filter, click the x on the right hand side.

30. If you prefer to set a filter for a specific match site, click the Location column header to show what locations are available.

31. The matches available at that location will display. Click the x on the right side of the filter to remove it.

32. To filter for a specific Competition, click the Competition column header and select the relevant one.

For this example, we will choose the Lakeville Fathers Day Cup Competition.

33. We now see two matches that are available, with 3 match roles available for self-assign: Referee, AR1, and AR2.

34. To select one of these roles for self-assign, click the magnifying glass next to the match of interest.

35. If the assignor has added a game fee and chosen to display it, it will be visible here. Other items such as payment method, minimum age, and minimum years of experience will display if the assignor has filled in these items.

36. Before self-assigning to this match, check the match details for Date, Start Time, and the Drive Time from your home to the match site to ensure you can work the match.

37. Other Available Matches on the same date and at the same site are listed here for your convenience, in case there are other matches available you can work.

Remember the assignor may set a maximum number of self-assignments officials can do in a day.

38. When you're ready to self-assign to a match role, click the plus sign next to that role.

39. Click OK to confirm this action. By doing so, you are agreeing to officiate this match.

40. The assignor can put self-assigned roles in either tentative or accepted status.

Assignments set to accepted will show in the assignments area of the app. Tentative assignments need to be released by the assignor before they will display in the app.

41. Click Self Assign to return to that page.

42. Tentative assignments will display under the Pending Requests area until the assignor releases the assignment to you.

If you need to cancel this self-assigned match, notify the assignor by clicking the garbage can and filling in the form.

43. Remaining available matches will display in this section. We can see there is also a 10:30am match on the same day and at the same location.

Let's self-assign to that one as well by clicking on the magnifying glass.

44. Click the plus sign to self-assign for the AR1 position.

45. Click OK to confirm this action.

46. In this example, the assignor set the AR1 position to go straight to accepted.

47. Click Assignments

48. Click Accepted (1) to see our self-assigned match that went directly to Accepted status.

49. The match details for our AR1 self-assigned match are displayed here.

50. The self-assigned match in tentative status will not display under Pending until the assignor approves and releases the assignment.

51. Once the assignor approves and releases the tentative assignment to you, the match will display under the Pending area of Assignments.

52. The match is now in Assigned status and you will need to accept or decline it.

53. Select the match (or multiple matches if there are several) by clicking the checkbox.

54. Click Accept Selected Assignments

55. Both assignments are now under the Accepted (2) area.

56. All match details are displayed here.

57. Under the Self-Assign menu item, the tentative assignment is now removed from the Pending Requests area, since the assignor has approved and released it.

58. For more details about your accepted matches, click Assignments.

59. Click the orange icon next to the match.
