Built-in AI
Fill your schedule in seconds. Approve every pick.
RefsManager's AI does the tedious part of assigning — checking who's free, who's rested and who's due a game — so you can finish in minutes instead of evenings.
Suggestions with reasons
Every suggestion explains itself — "hasn't worked in 9 days, lowest workload, prefers 12U" — and shows who was left out and why.
Excluded: Sam Patel (blackout date), Dana Ortiz (already on Field 2 at 9:00)
Everything the AI helps with
Suggest the best official per game
Ranks eligible officials for each open position and explains why.
Auto-assign a whole schedule
After importing games, propose crews for every game at once.
Respect blackouts & availability
Officials who marked a date off or aren't available are never suggested.
Catch conflicts
No double-booking, no back-to-back games across fields, and weekly maximums honored.
Time since last worked
Favors officials who haven't had a game lately so everyone stays engaged.
Balance workload fairly
Uses the same green/amber/red workload numbers as your dashboard.
Weigh ratings & preferences
Considers coach ratings and the game types each official prefers.
Fill the right positions
Understands crews by sport — plate & base, referee & umpire, five-person football.
You approve every pick
Apply a suggestion, choose someone else, or ignore it. Every pick is re-checked before saving.

RefsManager removes anyone who can't work the game: blackouts, availability, clashes and limits.
AI ranks
The AI ranks the remaining officials using workload, rest, ratings and preferences.
