🚀 New Resource: The Assignment Lifecycle and Status Flows

For assignors

We've published a comprehensive guide explaining how assignments move through the system. Every assignment follows a predictable path from creation to game day, passing through statuses like Tentative, Assigned, and Accepted. But sometimes assignments end before the official works the match—through Removed, Declined, or Revoked. This guide explains it all.

The article covers:

  • The six assignment statuses and what each one means

  • The standard flow from Tentative → Assigned → Accepted

  • Exit points: how and why assignments end up as Removed, Declined, or Revoked

  • How assignments transition between statuses (and when they can move backwards)

  • What assignors can do vs. what officials can do

  • How "current" vs. "non-current" assignments work when you replace an official

  • Managing your workspace with the Hide button

Whether you're new to Ref Insight or just want a refresher, this guide will help you understand exactly what's happening with your assignments at every stage.
