๐Ÿš€ 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 matchโ€”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 โ†’ Assigned โ†’ 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.
