How it works

From match to report in four steps

One connected journey the assessor lives — from the opening whistle to approving the assessment.

1

Choose the match

From the Pro League fixtures and Federation competitions — teams, crew and date are filled in automatically.

2

Log incidents on the pitch

Tap the incident zone (18 zones), and set its type, the assessor's decision and the VAR intervention — live or after the match.

3

Analyze and approve

Compare against official data via "Baseer", review accuracy and the error ladder, then approve the assessment.

4

A printable report

A complete report added to the referee's profile and their performance record across the whole season.

Platform experience
