# Notch Sports

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/558158/Notch-Sports

> Notch Sports is assigning and payment software built for the people who schedule and pay youth sports officials. It replaces outdated and expensive assigning software, in addition to the spreadsheets, group texts, and paper checks that leagues, clubs, and tournament directors have long used to manage referees and umpires.

For assignors, Notch simplifies key workflows. Create groups, set up competitions with their own eligibility rules, crew sizes, and pay scales, and import full schedules using smart CSV mapping that reads your existing spreadsheet formats. Games can be linked together for fast, efficient manual assigning, or opened up for self-assignment, where officials claim games based on their experience level, availability, and location. That flexibility lets a small local league and a large multi-day tournament run on the very same platform.

For officials, Notch is refreshingly simple: create an account, keep availability current, request games, and stay informed through email, push, and SMS notifications so nothing slips through the cracks. A mobile app for iOS and Android puts assignments, availability, and game details in their pocket, so both assignors and officials can manage everything on the go.

Where Notch separates itself from older assigning tools is payments. Rather than cutting checks or running separate ACH payroll each week, an assignor approves a game report and the official is paid automatically. Payments include free ACH transfers or instant payouts, so officials can choose how quickly they receive their money.

Notch supports every youth sport that relies on officials, including soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, football, lacrosse, and softball, making it a fit for single-sport associations and multi-sport organizations alike. For any group looking to modernize their assigning experience and lower costs, Notch is an excellent choice.

## Reviews

### "Excellent Assigning Software & Support Team" — 5.0/5

> **Cody** | *4 August 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Using Notch has made our umpire scheduling process significantly more efficient and organized for both assignors and umpires. The software is highly intuitive and easy to learn.

Additionally, their support team is extremely responsive and continues to provide updates that improve the product. I highly recommend Notch to any league or tournament director.
> 
> **Cons**: The lack of a grid feature when we first started using the product was somewhat of an issue, but now the feature has been added and provides a great visual to ensure all games have been loaded into Notch.
