SOLUTIONS > REFEREES
Overview
There are a number of eSM modules that are useful for referees, match officials and home teams. Referees are often under pressure to return match results and reports promptly after a match. Often referees have difficulty getting through to the competitions administrator, particularly at weekends. eSM offers a streamlined solution that makes life easier for a referee/match official or home team.

ESM also has modules that are designed to meet the needs of a Refereeing/Umpire body or Referee Co-coordinator.

How it works

When a match is over a referee returns the match result by a text message using our unique SMS software. This result automatically updates the league database, re-calculates the league table, publishes the result and adjusted league table to both league and club websites. It also 'pushes' out this data by SMS alerts, results emails, facebook app, and media updates etc. As fixtures are updated by the league administrator this is immediately fed 'Live' through to the league & club websites This process is entirely automated and works in real-time.

eSM also records all games, which have been refereed by an umpire/referee. Administrators can export summary reports, team sheets and other useful documentation relevant to referees/umpires. This makes it easy and quicker for the league administrators to make financial returns to referees.
