How do I Link Games?

Linking games allows assigners to assign officials to multiple related games at once. This is especially helpful for doubleheaders, tournaments, or multiple games at the same site. 

If you have multiple sets of games needing to be linked, see our Auto Linking Games article.

Who can link games and when?

Linking games is an action performed by assigners after games have been added to the schedule. Games may be entered by schools or by assigners themselves, but linking always takes place from an assigner’s Admin account once the games exist on the schedule.

How does Linking Games Affect Game Fees and Travel Fees?

Linking games can impact both game fees and travel fees. 

Arbiter’s fee management tools allow you to:

• Set different game fees based on how many games an official is working.
• Apply travel fees only once when an official is working multiple games at the same site.

This ensures officials are paid accurately and consistently based on their assignments.

2. Select Game Fees. 

3. Select the Sport & Level, Game Status, and number of Games.

4. Enter an Amount. 

5. Click Apply or Cascade.
