How do I Create a Host Game?

In this article you will learn how to create a host game — a game between two opposing teams that is played at your site, where you are the host but not a participant. Creating a host game adds it to your schedule so you can see the assigned officials, add event workers, make payments, and manage the facility for that game. A common example is a tri-match or quad-match, or a playoff game placed at a neutral site between the two competing schools.

  3. Enter a Title if needed.

    Note: A title is optional.
  4. Select the Sport and Level.

    Note: You must select the sport and level before selecting teams. This tells Arbiter which of your opponents have teams at that sport and level.
  5. Select the Teams that will participate in the contest.

    Note: A host game is between opposing teams — none of your own teams are involved.
  6. Select the Site where you are hosting the game (for example, the baseball field).
  7. Set the Date and Time.
  8. Add any additional information, including ticket and streaming links, if needed.
  9. Set up a Facility Request as part of this game, if needed.

    Note: Because the host is usually the site of the game, hosts have the option to attach a facility request directly to the host game.
  10. Set the Officials for the game.

    Note: Hosts of a tri-match or quad-match typically use the same officiating group for every game. You can select the default officials for the teams involved.

How do I view and manage a host game?

  1. Once created, the host game appears on your Schedule page, identified by the blue Host icon tag.
  2. View the assigned Officials for the game, if officials have been assigned.
  3. View the Event Workers for the game, if event workers have been assigned.
  4. Click into the game to manage it. As the host, you can:
    • Add or edit ticket and streaming links.
    • Modify the Facility Request for the game.Screenshot 2026-07-06 at 9.13.43 PM.png
