Your assigning process just got easier.
Over the last two years, the makers of Referee Assistant having been working to provide a new web-based assigning service that reflects the needs of the assigning community and its referees, is cost effective and is drop-dead simple to use!
We are pleased to announce that our new assigning product, assignr.com is ready!
We are so excited about this product and the rave reviews of our beta testers that we have decided to make the product available now… all you need to do is log in and get to work!
As a Referee Assistant customer, you are certainly well aware of all the hassles of the current setup: being tethered to a single computer, switching data files between computers, keeping up to date with software updates, and hoping a hundred other things don’t happen while you’re trying to get those assignments out.
assignr.com makes all of that go away!
assignr.com allows you to manage your games and assignments using just a web browser and nothing else. This means:
- Nothing to install.
- Nothing to maintain.
- Nothing to back up (we take care of that for you).
- Use it anywhere on any machine at any time.
All you need is a browser and internet connection. In addition assignr.com offers:
- An incredibly easy-to-use and secure interface.
- Tightly integrated messaging, notifications and accept/decline features
- Improved availability options: referees choose when they “can” work, instead of when they can’t.
- Saved searches.
- Support for iCalendar feeds, so your referees can keep their calendars up to-date automatically
We are offering up a 14-day free trial site, where you can take our software for a road test and check it out for your self – at no charge. You don’t even need a credit card to get started.
Can I get my existing data imported into assignr.com?
If you decide you want to make the switch, as a Referee Assistant customer we will convert your data for you and we will do it for free. All you have to do is ask.
How do i switch?
If you are interested in switching, just visit this address:
If you have a Referee Assistant data file that you’d like us to import for you, assignr.com supports imports of games and referees using comma delimited files (Excel spreadsheets). However, if you have a Referee Assistant data file, we can import that file into assignr.com. Contact us at support@assignr.com and we’ll provide you with a secure upload URL.
At the end of your trial period, you’ll need to provide a credit card number to continue using your site.
Will Referee Assistant continue to be supported?
Over the last few years, with the Internet becoming more a part of everyone’s daily lives, we have found that the demand for desktop software has decreased, with more and more people using web-based services to manage a myriad of activities.
Referee Assistant Web Services is being discontinued in favor of our new product. We will continue to honor existing Web Services customer contracts until the end of your contract. Renewals to existing Web Services contracts will not be offered or supported.
Our plan is to continue to support Referee Assistant Professional Edition (the desktop software) until July 1, 2010. If you purchased Referee Assistant after July 1, 2009, you may be eligible for an extension of this date.
We believe this is a shift in the right direction. This will make your experience as an assignor using our service much better, and it will allow us to keep you up-to-date without any effort on your part.
