Make your rule study easier:

For deeper study, the optional premium subscription unlocks Basketball Referee Assistant and removes advertisements.

Ask questions in your own words, choose an article for an explanation, or describe a game situation. The assistant uses AI and the app’s rule content to explain relevant articles, rulings, and penalties, with references that help you return to the source material.

Successful answers are automatically saved to Annotations under Assistant Responses. Revisit your saved explanations alongside your personal notes, including when you are offline.

Premium includes:

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled through Google Play. There is no free trial, and access continues until the end of the paid period after cancellation.

An internet connection and an active subscription are required to ask the assistant new questions. Daily and billing-period question limits apply and are shown in the app. Previously saved answers remain available on your device without an active subscription.
