how it works
One weekend, from open seats to paid.
assignary is the slate in the middle. You write the weekend — Saturday’s matches, Sunday’s panels. You offer the seats. They tap. You see what’s covered, and then you pay the people who worked.
write
Write the weekend
Matches and panels, the venues, the crew each one needs — three officials on the 9 o’clock, five judges on Senior Level 5. One sheet. Not a group text and a spreadsheet.
offer
Offer the next person who can
Who is free, close enough, certified, and still cleared for that seat. You send the offer. assignary does not guess.
tap
They tap yes or no
On their phone: the match or the panel, the start time, the pay. If they pass, the next person gets it — and anyone who pre-committed already has it.
settle
Pay the people who worked
Mark who worked, who did not show, who was excused. The fees you wrote follow the crew that worked it. You settle the weekend instead of rebuilding it.
who it is for
The person who staffs the weekend.
Assigners first. Officials and judges on their phone. The association keeps one slate for whatever it staffs.
The assigner
You write the weekend — Saturday’s matches, Sunday’s panels — send the offers, and pay the people who worked.
The official
Referee or judge, they see the seat, the venue, and the pay. They tap yes or no.
The association
One slate for the chapter — a soccer club, a cheer circuit, a marching-arts league. Whatever you staff, whoever works it.
two halves, one slate
A referee crew and a judging panel.
The same weekend, staffed the same way. A chapter that does both keeps one slate rather than two systems that do not know about each other.
Officiating
A referee crew on a match — a lead and their assistants, each seat with its own fee and its own certification.
Adjudication
A judging panel on a division — five judges on Senior Level 5, cleared for the rung the division asks for.
before the offer
A standing answer
An official can say yes before anyone asks. When an offer arrives that matches, the seat is theirs the moment it is sent — not after it has sat out its clock and moved on to the next person.
- Only the levels they work
- Inside a radius they set
- Under a cap for the week
- Not on a weekday they keep for themselves
- Above a fee they name
- Between two dates, or switched off entirely
It changes nothing about who gets offered a seat — only how fast the answer comes back. Set none of the bounds and it answers for anything they were already eligible for; set one and it answers for less.
after the weekend
The record the weekend leaves.
Who said yes is half of it. The rest is what you can show afterwards: the person in that seat was cleared for it, and the game got worked.
Clearances
Cleared means they hold what the seat asks for, on the day it happens.
Outcomes
Worked, no-show, or excused — marked against the seat.
The trail
Every move on a seat leaves a row saying who made it.
A disagreement
The official can say the record is wrong, and the money waits.
A receipt
An official can take their own record with them.
A standing check
One clearance, asked about later, by somebody with an account.

Two chapters, one engine — a Saturday of matches, a Sunday of panels. Four events each. The dots are seats. Offer someone who can make the drive, and they see who asked, the venue, and the pay, then they tap.
