Finishing a game doesn’t always mean your responsibilities in Assignr are complete.
Depending on your organization, you may need to submit a Game Report documenting the result, participating officials, and any incidents that occurred.
However, not every league requires these reports, and the information requested can vary significantly.
Assignr allows organizations to customize their Game Reports, so the form you see may be different from the one another official uses.
Where to Find Game Reports
Assignr provides a dedicated Game Reports section for officials.
This page displays recent games that may require a report.
To begin, select New Report next to the appropriate game.
Alternatively, use Submit a Report at the top of the page.
Assignr then presents the report fields configured for that organization.
If you don’t see the expected reporting option, your assignor may not have enabled Game Reports.
Not Every Organization Requires Reports
Assignr supports three Game Report settings.
Disabled: Officials cannot submit Game Reports.
Enabled – Optional: Officials can submit reports, but the system doesn’t remind them about missing submissions.
Enabled – Required: Officials receive reminders when a completed game is missing its report.
These settings are controlled by the organization, not by individual referees or umpires.
A reporting procedure that applies to one league may not apply to another.
What Information Goes Into a Report?
Assignr’s standard reporting instructions identify several common fields.
Officials may need to enter the final score for each team, provide comments about the match, and indicate whether misconduct occurred.
The report also displays the officials assigned to the game.
However, the exact fields depend on the report template.
Some organizations collect additional information, while others use simpler forms.
Recording the Final Score
For sports where a final score is relevant, enter the result accurately.
Don’t assume that the score displayed elsewhere in the schedule has automatically populated the report.
Review the teams and the entered result before submitting.
Assignr also provides sport-specific templates. For example, its volleyball report can include separate score fields for each set.
Use the format provided by your organization’s report.
Reporting Misconduct
Assignr supports misconduct reporting.
Its standard instructions describe a Has Misconduct checkbox.
Organizations can also use more detailed templates, including soccer reports with fields for cautions and send-offs.
If an incident occurred, complete the relevant fields according to the organization’s reporting requirements.
A brief comment may not replace a required incident description.
The report should contain accurate, factual information rather than assumptions about a player’s intentions.
What If Another Official Didn’t Show Up?
The Officials section lists the people originally assigned to the match.
If someone didn’t attend, Assignr allows the reporting official to change that person’s entry to No Show.
If another official worked the position instead, the report can identify the person who actually officiated.
This helps the assignor understand what happened during the game.
Don’t leave the original crew unchanged when the reporting form specifically asks for the officials who worked.
Custom Reports Can Include Attachments
Assignr uses a customizable form system for Game Reports.
Administrators can add text fields, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and file-upload fields.
This means an organization may request supporting documentation, such as a roster or an incident-related attachment.
Some fields can be mandatory, while others are optional.
Follow the requirements displayed in your organization’s current template rather than assuming every report consists only of a score and comments.
Does Every Official Need to Submit a Report?
Not necessarily.
Assignr allows any assigned official to submit a Game Report.
When reporting is required, a completed report from one assigned official satisfies the system’s missing-report reminder requirement for that game.
That doesn’t prevent an organization from establishing additional expectations for particular officials.
If your assignor expects the referee or crew chief to prepare the report, follow those instructions.
Why Do Report Reminders Keep Arriving?
When Game Reports are marked as required, Assignr sends daily reminders for missing reports.
According to its documentation, these reminders continue for one week after the game.
Once a report has been submitted, the reminders stop.
If you’re receiving notifications, check whether the game still appears in the list of assignments requiring a report.
A completed match and a completed report are separate records.
What Happens After Submission?
When the report is complete, select Save Report.
If you have additional games without reports, Assignr may prompt you to complete another one.
Assignors can review submitted reports, including the game information, reporting official, scores, and indicators for misconduct or no-shows.
Organizations can also configure notifications for specific report templates.
Different Sports, Different Reports
Assignr provides several standard templates, including soccer, volleyball, general game reports, and umpire ejection reports.
This flexibility is useful because a soccer referee and a baseball umpire may need to document very different events.
It also means that instructions from another organization may not match your form exactly.
The organization’s current template is the appropriate reference.
A Game Isn’t Always Finished Administratively
Assignr Game Reports provide a structured way to document what happened after an assignment.
They can record scores, incidents, attendance, and other information required by the organization.
But the feature isn’t universal, and the form itself is configurable.
After officiating through Assignr, check whether your organization requires a Game Report. If it does, review the appropriate game, complete the requested fields, verify the officials who actually worked, and save the report rather than assuming the assignment is finished when the match ends.
