Ace5on5 helps assignors collect availability from referees, umpires and scorekeepers: build a form from a template, text the link, and see who can work each game.

It replaces online surveys, group texts and spreadsheets with four steps: pick a template, build the form, text the link, read the replies.

WHO IT IS FOR AND HOW TO GET ACCESS
Ace5on5 is for assignors and the referees, umpires and scorekeepers on their roster, in basketball, flag football, softball and volleyball.
• Assignors: accounts are by invitation. A head assignor in your group creates yours. Sign in with email and a temporary password, then set your own.
• Officials: no account and no password. Your assignor adds your US mobile number to the roster. If your number is not found, ask your assignor to add you.
• There is no public sign-up, and installing the app does not create an account. Questions about access? Use the support contact on this page.

FOR OFFICIALS
• Got a text from your assignor? The form opens right from the text link - no app install needed.
• Tap "Official" and enter the mobile number your assignor has for you.
• "Open Games" lists the forms you still need to answer. A form leaves the list once you submit it.
• Check the games or dates you can work. Linked games, like a doubleheader, show as a Set and are checked together.
• Monthly and general requests let you type your availability.
• You can answer each form only once and cannot change it afterward, so look it over before you press Submit.
• Not available? You do not need to reply.

After you submit, the app says "Availability saved but not assigned."

FOR ASSIGNORS
Build
• Templates: save sport, level, games, start times, work locations and game fee once. All assignors in your group share one library.
• Four form layouts. Daily: one date, several games. Seasonal: pick weekdays and season dates, then adjust or remove dates in Review Games. Softball monthly and Scorekeeper monthly: officials type the days they can work.
• On a Daily form, link a doubleheader into a Set that officials mark available as one unit.
• General Availability: a request with no games. Set a title, a date range of up to 92 days and one or more sports. Officials type when they can work.
• Forms close on a timer: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Monthly forms stay open for several weeks.

Send
• Pick groups of officials, or select officials one by one. The app opens your phone's own messaging app with recipients and the form link filled in, 20 at a time. You press Send. Texts come from your own number.
• Share a form with one partner assignor in the same sport, who can send it and view replies.
• You can still change a sent form until it closes, except games that already have replies. Officials see the update when they next open or refresh it.

Review
• Availability board: replies by official or by game, plus a Not Responded list. Replies reload when you open it.
• Reports across forms: Ref Shopping Cart gathers replies from several forms into one list (nothing is bought). All Availability does this for monthly forms.

Directories (assignors only)
• Referee Directory: search your roster and filter by sport, role and group. Add officials one at a time, or paste in a comma-separated (CSV) list to add many. Text or email them through your phone's own messaging or email app.
• Site Directory: venues by category, with note sections and an optional court-layout diagram. Share a site's written info as a PDF.

A guided Tutorial uses fictional officials, sends no real texts and changes no real data.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Ace5on5 collects availability. The assignor decides who works which game, outside the app.
• The game fee is information only. No money moves through the app.

PRIVACY
No ads, no tracking, no location access. Diagnostics are limited to crash and error reports and standard service diagnostics. Photos are used only for images you choose. Assignors can delete their account in Settings.
