🚀 New Feature: Revised Assignments & Overlap Protection

Overview

When a match's date, time, or location changes after an official has already accepted it, Ref Insight now handles the re-acceptance cleanly and protects against overlaps. This overview and tutorial are primarily aimed at assignors, but it plays out in the officials' portal too — officials will see a clear before-and-after of what changed and can re-accept or decline a modified (revised) match. The tutorial is available in the Knowledge Base for officials as well.

Feature Details

🔄 Revised Assignments (Assignors & Officials)

What's New:

  • When a match's date, time, or location changes, previously accepted assignments return to assigned status and the official is asked to re-accept or decline — on those schedules set to require re-acceptance for those changes

  • These land in a new Pending/Revised section of the official's Assignments area, kept separate from new assignments, showing exactly what changed (before and after)

  • Officials can contact the assignor directly from the assignment, and declines require a reason — assignors are notified and can see them in the workspace and the Declines report

  • Bundle-aware: a revised assignment becomes standalone — 2 or more remaining matches stay within the bundle intact; if the bundle is left with only a single assignment, the bundle dissolves automatically

🛡️ Overlap Protection (Assignors & Officials)

What's New:

  • Officials can not accept a revised assignment that overlaps a match they've already accepted — the conflicting match is shown in an Overlapping Assignments area so the reason is clear

  • If the assignor approved the overlap with a justification when assigning, the official can still accept it

  • Assignors can review conflicts in the Assignment Overlaps Report, available from the modified match or under Reports – Overlaps
