Merge Referee Schedules From Arbiter, RefQuest & More

If you officiate across multiple leagues and conferences, your games come in through several assigning platforms at once — Arbiter for one conference, RefQuest for another, Horizon Web Ref or EventLink for the rest. Each has its own login and its own calendar. iCal Merge pulls every assignment into one feed so your whole schedule lives in a single calendar — and you stop missing games buried in an app you forgot to check.

One assignor, one app — it adds up

Officials working several conferences often juggle a handful of assigning systems. Most of them — Arbiter (ArbiterSports), RefQuest, Horizon Web Ref, EventLink, and others — can publish your accepted games as an iCal feed. Merging those feeds means every game you've been assigned shows up in one place, no matter which platform sent it.

Step 1: Get the feed from each platform

In each assigning system, look for a calendar sync, subscribe, or iCal/ICS export option — it's usually near your schedule or game list. Copy the link from each platform you work with. New to these links? The iCal feed explainer covers where to find them.

Step 2: Add each platform as a source

Create a calendar in iCal Merge and paste each link in as a source — one for Arbiter, one for RefQuest, and so on. Each game is prefixed with the source name, so you can tell at a glance which assignor a game came from when you're checking your week.

Step 3: Subscribe to your whole schedule

iCal Merge gives you a single feed with every assignment across every platform. Subscribe to it in Google, Apple, or Outlook and it updates on its own — when a new game is assigned or a time changes, your merged calendar follows along, so you can spot conflicts before you accept the next one.

Get alerted to overlaps (Pro)

Working several assignors, it's easy to accept a game that collides with one from another system. With double-booking alerts — a Pro feature — iCal Merge emails you when assignments from two platforms overlap, so a conflict doesn't slip through. Enable it per calendar from the calendar's page.

A quick tip

Some calendars give you a link that starts with webcal://. Paste it in as-is — iCal Merge handles webcal:// links automatically, so you don't need to change it to https:// first.
