Your four-step guide

1. Sign in. Enter the email address registered with Tag Republic and choose Send sign-in link. Open the link in your email within 15 minutes. It works once; request a fresh link if it expires. Check your spam folder, and contact the admin team if your registered address is not recognised. New referees can use Register as a referee; the team reviews applications.
2. Save your availability. Choose a date and venue under Upcoming nights. Tick each kick-off you can cover, then choose Save availability. Repeat for other nights. On a phone, swipe the nights list sideways to see more dates. Saving availability does not assign you a game. An Already assigned time cannot be changed here.
3. Claim an open game. After saving, look for Confirm a game. Choose Confirm this game at a time you can cover. The Hub selects the league and pitch. Depending on the league, the claim is confirmed immediately or waits for admin approval. If no games appear, there may be no eligible open games, a clash or a nightly limit; the admin team can help.
4. Check your rota. Look under Upcoming matches for the date, kick-off, venue, league, pitch and status. Pending means approval is still needed. Check Updates for publication messages, and use the published rota link shared by the admin team. Check the Hub again before travelling in case the schedule has changed.

Can no longer referee? Contact the admin team promptly and use Withdraw on the match if needed. Depending on the league, approval or replacement may be required. Check the resulting status; a request does not always release you immediately. The Hub warns about withdrawals within 96 hours.

The tour starts on your first visit and highlights the controls without clicking them for you. Skip tour hides it; you can reopen it here. Signed-in preferences are saved to your account. Saving availability or claiming a game still requires your own action.
