What's new

Every update to REF CLASH, newest first.

• Checks are much faster: Arbiter is read about twice as fast, and all your platforms are now read at the same time.
• Arbiter: a greyed-out group box no longer causes problems.

• Checks are faster: your platforms are now read at the same time instead of one after the other.

• Arbiter checks are faster.

• Faster checks on Arbiter and GotSport.

• Arbiter: blocks now work when one of your groups is greyed out on Arbiter's Blocks page (it can't be ticked, so REF CLASH skips it).

• RefInsight: your accepted RefInsight games now show up on the Schedule tab and block time on your other platforms.

• RefInsight: signing in works; this update fixes the next step, reading your calendar, so the check can finish.

• RefInsight fix: signing in to RefInsight from REF CLASH now works, so the check can read your games and block time there.

• RefInsight: the sign-in from REF CLASH now looks like a regular browser sign-in, which RefInsight expects.

• RefInsight fix: signing in to RefInsight now works from REF CLASH (it was sending the sign-in to the wrong address).

• RefInsight: sign-in is now checked more carefully, and Connect tells you if RefInsight doesn't finish signing you in instead of saying Connected.

• RefInsight fix: after signing in, REF CLASH now stays signed in on RefInsight, so the check can read your games and blocks. Connecting also tells you right away if RefInsight signs you in but won't open your availability.

• RefInsight fix: the check no longer fails with "RefInsight gave an answer REF CLASH couldn't read". Games are now read one month at a time, the way RefInsight's calendar works.

• RefInsight is here (limited access for now). Connect it on the Platforms tab with your RefInsight email and password, and REF CLASH reads your accepted games there and blocks that time on your other platforms.
• It also works the other way: games from GotSport, Assignr, Arbiter and ZebraWeb get blocked on RefInsight as "assigned elsewhere". RefInsight only takes 30-minute steps, so those blocks are rounded out to the half hour.
• A RefInsight game blocks 105 minutes, starting 15 minutes before kickoff. Back-to-back games combine like on the other platforms, and a block REF CLASH added comes off again when the game is turned back.
• For now RefInsight works for accounts set to "Available Unless Blocked Out".

• If a platform you had connected is switched off for your account, the Platforms tab now tells you (with a warning triangle), and the platform's card is greyed out. Your saved login and your past blocks are kept.

• ZebraWeb: a game no longer keeps showing up as "to add" when a bigger block that REF CLASH made earlier already covers it.

• Assignr: a day that comes back fully available now shows as "all day" instead of "Midnight-11:59p".
• Manual blocks: picking a From date now also sets the To date to the same day, so a one-day block takes one pick.

• Assignr: when a block is removed, your availability comes back as one piece, so a day that was open all day shows as "all day" again.

• Manual blocks: for a single day you no longer need to pick a day of the week, and the date boxes are easier to see.

• Manual blocks: block time yourself (a trip, a class, work) from the Schedule tab. Pick the dates and days, add them to a list, confirm once, and the time is blocked on all your platforms. Remove a whole block or a single day any time.

• Lost your link? Type your email on the REF CLASH home page and your dashboard link is emailed to you again.

• Faster: pages and tabs open quicker, and when several checks are running at once yours waits its turn and tells you where you are in line.

• What's new page: every update to REF CLASH is listed here, newest first. The version number at the bottom of every page now links to it.

• Four tabs along the bottom of the screen: Blocks, Platforms, Schedule and Help.
• A warning triangle on Platforms when a platform needs your attention.
• Help tab: write to the person who runs REF CLASH, right from the app.

• Fixed: ZebraWeb checks that came back empty for some people.

• ZebraWeb support added. Your ZebraWeb games block your other platforms, and games from your other platforms block ZebraWeb. It is being switched on for referees step by step.

• Fixed: a GotSport block that landed one hour off on the day the clocks change (Nov 1).

• Fixed: Arbiter accounts with a single group were missing their games.

• One card per platform: "GotSport blocks", "Assignr blocks" and so on, each with what to add and what was taken off.

• Same rules on every platform: the same "already covered" check and the same wording everywhere.
• When a game is turned back, your Assignr availability is put back too.

• Arbiter is open to everyone. Connect it from your dashboard.

• Upcoming games: all your accepted games from every platform, in one list.

• Fixed: Arbiter saying your sign-in had expired when your Arbiter schedule was showing as a calendar.

• Fixed: Arbiter showing "Connected" and then saying the sign-in expired on the next check.

• Fixed: Arbiter accounts with one group were told "Already there" while no block was added.

• You review before anything is added: the 6 AM and 6 PM checks list the blocks, and you tick them and press Confirm.

• Arbiter for testers: saved Arbiter logins are now stored encrypted.
• Email addresses are matched without regard to capitals or stray spaces.

• Blocks come off Arbiter when a game is turned back. Only blocks REF CLASH added are ever removed.
• Fixed: Arbiter "too slow" timeouts when reading, adding or removing blocks.

• Back-to-back games on different platforms are blocked as one stretch of time, so there are no gaps and no overlaps.

• Plain error messages: no more technical text, just what happened and what to do next.

• Arbiter: blocks that are already on Arbiter no longer show up on your review list.

• The Connected label is now green, and the Reconnect buttons look the same on every platform.

• Run Check Now shows real progress instead of a bar that guessed.
• Fixed: Assignr sometimes stopping partway through a check.

• Your GotSport login is tested the moment you enter it. A wrong password is caught right away, and the GotSport card says "Needs reconnecting" if a check can't sign in.

• Disclaimer page rewritten, with a form to send questions or ask for your data to be deleted.
• Assignr connections are now stored encrypted.
• The version number now shows at the bottom of every page.

• Reconnect Arbiter from your phone, including the 2FA code and "Remember This Device".
• A check now runs with any two of your platforms.

• First tracked release: progress bars, review lists with tick boxes, Arbiter blocks and merged back-to-back blocks.
