Ref Centre offers the tools for administrators to automate and verify the entire
referee scheduling and assignment process. Referees can access tools to manage their game preferences and schedules.
The end result is your game officials are appointed to appropriate games consistently,
fairly, and reliably.
Ref Centre is a web-based application. From the main Ref Centre website, game officials and administrators log in to enter their respective account pages. Once logged in, they have access
their Ref Centre tools and features.
At the heart of the system is a database that drives both the administrator
and referee tools. Data is shared between both user types via this database;
when information is updated by one user, the result is instantly reflected
in the other user's view. For example, as soon as a referee accepts a game assignment
offering, the administrator will immediately see that the offering was accepted.
Even though Ref Centre is an effective stand-alone product, its full potential is realized when integrated with one or more of E2E's other products. By using a shared
database, data can be exchanged in any direction, seamlessly and instantly,
between all E2E Soccer products.

League Administrators
“Ref Centre is amazing. Assigning referees used to take me 2 days
each month. I just did it in 5 minutes.”
Beth Montgomery
Administrator Kanata Soccer Club
“Ref Centre is an extremely efficient, effective and user friendly
tool for assigning referees. Not only does it save me time, but money
too. I used to spend several hours a week assigning referees compared
to 15 minutes now that I use Ref Centre. Without any hesitation, I strongly
recommend this product”
Alex Stanojevic
Manager, OZ Dome Indoor Soccer League
“I love it, love it, love it. Ref Centre is great
to work with, fast, easy and cuts down on time. I found I have better
control over the process of assigning games, invoicing leagues and also
issuing cheques to referees for games they officiated.
When assigning games, Ref Centre cut down a huge amount
of phone calls as accurate referee availability is at your finger tips.
Referees respond promptly in accepting or declining games and you could
assign well in advance. What more can I say! I love Ref Centre and would
recommend it to anyone.
Referees
“Intuitive – that is how easy it is to use
Ref Centre.
I can quickly and easily set my availability, receive game appointments,
and check my schedule. Online game reports are a breeze - it was obviously
designed for Referees. I’ve used two other electronic systems to
receive game appointments and this is by far the easiest and most user
friendly.”
Marvin Mohring
Class 1 Referee
“I have been a referee for many years and have yet to come across
a tool as good as Ref. Centre.”
Alex Dao
Class 3 Referee
“I used Ref Centre last summer, and I wish ALL my assignments could
come to me and be confirmed with such ease. Schedule management would
have been a snap if all my game assignments were done on Ref Centre. Information
was timely and up-to-the-minute. Game results were easy to enter. Pay
statements were professional and accurate. The web site was well-organized,
easy to navigate and visually pleasing.”
