New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. On a computer or laptop, choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back from that menu any time.
Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you. When a control or rule exists on only one layout, this article says so. The steps below start with the New Horizon Experience in the apps, then cover that older desktop or laptop layout.
This article covers Master Game Schedule in HorizonWebRef - the Schedule view assignors, organization administrators, and observers use to manage the full game board and assignments.
Open it from Schedule in the side menu when you have assignor access (or use the Master link when it is offered). Use this article when you are filling crews, publishing or unpublishing games, linking games, sending TBA listings, mass-editing details, or exporting the board. Officials working their own list use My Schedule. Coaches use Team Schedule. TBA self-assign uses TBA Requests.
Browse the board
Games load as you scroll. There is no separate Load more button. On larger screens you see a table. On phones you choose Compact (more games on screen) or Detailed (more information per game). Both views show the same games, just arranged differently.
Day headers group games. Labels such as Today and Tomorrow make the next contests easier to spot. A snapshot at the top summarizes unpublished, open, TBA listings that still have openings, and cancelled games in the current window so you can see what still needs work. Tap a chip to show only those games. Tap it again to clear that filter. Your date range and other Filters stay as they are.
Linked games share a matching soft color so you can see which contests stay together. Tap the link badge to open that group. Assignment status chips use Horizon colors for accepted, unaccepted, declined, turnback, and reconfirm so the meaning stays consistent across organizations.
Select games and use the action bar
Tap a compact or detailed card (or its checkbox) to select it. Press Space on a focused row to select it. Shift-click extends the selection. Select visible grabs every game currently on screen. A quiet count appears so the board stays readable.
When one or more games are selected, a bright red action bar pins under the top navigation and stays on screen no matter how far you scroll. It shows the selection count plus Select visible, Clear, and Actions. Actions opens short groups instead of one long list: Status (publish, unpublish, then cancel and delete), Update (Mass-Edit and Recalculate fees), Link when linking is on, TBAs for send and retract when TBA is available, and Email on the main list. Destructive or bulk changes ask you to confirm before they run. Clear drops the selection without changing the games.
If you are viewing only unfilled games, publish, unpublish, and cancel stay unavailable until you change that filter. Observers can review the board and export or print when allowed, but they cannot change games.
Publish, unpublish, cancel, and delete
Publish makes games visible to assigned officials and emails people who have not accepted yet. If a game still needs coach approval, that check happens first. On each game, a red button next to Assign publishes that one game after you confirm. You can also publish several games at once from Actions on the red bar after you select them.
Unpublish hides games again, clears acceptances, and emails assigned officials. On a published game that has not started yet, or a past game with nobody assigned, the same spot shows a green button. Confirm to unpublish that one game, or use Actions after you select several.
Cancel is offered on published games from about the last three months forward. It asks for a reason (weather, location, schedule, postponed, forfeit, or other). Assigned officials and attendees are notified. Unpublished games selected from the action bar are published first so the cancel notice can go out. This is irreversible. Cancelled games cannot be uncancelled.
Delete is limited to unpublished games that are eligible to be removed. You must type the confirmation phrase shown on screen (including the count) before anything is deleted. Ineligible games stay on the board and the page tells you how many were skipped.
Link games and review a group
Select 2 to 7 games and choose Link to keep them together for assigning. Meetings, older games, and games already in a full group cannot be linked. Unlink removes the selected games from their groups. A group with only one game left dissolves automatically.
Open a link badge to review the group in order, remove one game, or unlink the whole set. From that review you can also open game details.
Mass-Edit, TBA, email, and fees
Select one or more games, then choose Mass-Edit from Actions on the red bar that pins after you select. Mass-Edit walks you through one field at a time: what to change, the new value, then a review of which eligible games will receive it. Cancelled games, meetings, and games more than 45 days in the past are skipped. Changing date, time, type, venue, or league also clears acceptances and notifies assigned officials.

Send TBA opens the TBA console for the selected games so you can list openings. Retract TBA removes those listings from the selected games.
Email opens compose with the officials assigned to the selected games already filled in. You still write and send the message as usual.
Choose Recalculate fees from Actions on that same bar to refresh calculated assignment fees. Amounts you adjusted by hand stay as you left them.
Assign, add, and open a game
Assign opens the assign panel for that game so you can fill positions. On a meeting, that same button is labeled Invite and opens the invite panel. Close the panel when you are done and that game or meeting updates in place so you stay where you were on the list. Meetings show the meeting title instead of a team matchup, and they do not show league or game code. Add lists a single game first, then a recurring pattern, then Import from SportsEngine (three steps: Choose, Preview, Results), then a meeting. Spreadsheet import is not listed yet. Edit and Reschedule open the add or edit form in a dialog. After you save or finish an action, the list updates and returns you to the game you were working on so you can move to the next one without scrolling the whole list again.
On compact or detailed cards, tap the card to select it for bulk actions. Next to Assign (or Invite on a meeting), a green or red button publishes or unpublishes that one game. Green means it is published (tap to unpublish). Red means it is unpublished (tap to publish). You confirm before that change runs. On a detailed card, a green Published chip or a red Unpublished chip sits with Open and the other status chips. A TBA chip stays quiet until someone responds, then shows the count so you can tell the listing is worth opening. In the table, those chips sit under the date so they stay separate from the combined Type (League plus Game Code). The three-dot menu on a game is grouped so it stays short. Details and Edit sit at the top. On a meeting, Invite groups sits next to Details and asks you to choose a contact group (or all officials). Everyone in that group who is not already invited is added at once. Invite still opens the window for inviting people one by one. Edit still opens the meeting form. A Status group appears when you can cancel or delete that one game. More holds notes, evaluate, coach approval, map, travel, assign resources, reschedule, view a rescheduled game, and retract TBA when those items apply. Choose Details (or the table chevron) to open the game notice. Notes opens in a side panel. Evaluate opens ratings when that task is available. Map shows the venue on the organization map. You can also approve a pending coach approval from the game when your organization uses that step. Organizations that reserve equipment or other resources also get Assign resources on that menu.
Removing an official from a published game notifies that person. Related fees, ratings, and TBA listings for that assignment are cleared as part of the remove.
Filters and Quick filters
Change the date range from the calendar control on the top bar. That control applies as soon as you choose a range. It is separate from the Filters panel.
On a phone in the Horizon WebRef app, Filters is the funnel icon on that same top bar. It does not say Filters, and it is not the older filter row that used to sit on the page. Tap the funnel to open a side panel from the right. Set the options you want, then tap Apply Filters at the bottom of the panel. A red number on the funnel means Filters besides the date range are on. Quick filters is the nearby icon with stacked lines and is a separate menu for saved sets.
On a larger screen the same funnel still opens that side panel. The Filters panel can include:
Show schedule for - limit the board to one official (or any official). Yes, you can still filter by official.
Leagues - when your organization uses leagues
Game Code - the standalone game-code filter (it may still say Types on the panel)
Teams - when your organization uses teams
Locations
Fill - all, open only, or filled only
Published - all, published, or unpublished
Assignment status - accepted, unaccepted, declined, turnback, and TBA only
Positions
Reference #s - when your organization uses reference numbers
Status - not cancelled, cancelled only, cancelled awaiting reschedule, weather, postponed, or all
Sorting order - choose how the list is ordered. Open this card in Filters, set Sort #1, Sort #2, and Sort #3, then tap Apply Filters. You can sort by Date, Time, Location, Home, Away, or ID when those columns apply. Location sorts by the location name. Home and Away appear when your organization uses teams. ID appears when game IDs are shown.
If you have not saved or remembered a sort, Master starts with Date, then Location, then Time. That is the default only on the Master Game Schedule. My Schedule, Team Schedule, TBA Requests, and Public Schedule start with Date, then Time, then Location when nothing is saved.
Snapshot chips at the top set the matching Fill, Published, TBA, or cancelled choices for you. The TBA chip also sets Fill to Open only, so you see TBA listings that still have openings. Tap a chip again to clear that slice. Date range and the other Filters stay as they are. Reset Filters restores the default date window, the default sort for this schedule, and clears the other filters.
When you are signed in, Master remembers the filters you last used for about 30 days, including Sorting order, so you do not have to rebuild them every visit. Those remembered settings stay separate from My Schedule, Team Schedule, TBA Requests, and Public Schedule. Sorting does not count toward the red number on Filters. Save named Quick filters for windows you reuse (for example this weekend or one league). A named Quick filter also stores the sort that was on when you saved it. You can apply or delete them from the Quick filters menu.
If the list is empty and you have not applied Filters, you are guided to change the date range. If Filters are on, you are guided to open Filters and adjust them. When you can add games, the empty state can offer that shortcut.
Utilities, print, and export
From Utilities you can print a branded schedule or download spreadsheets for the current window (schedule, scores, notes, resources, fees, payroll, and analysis). On the printed schedule, weekday, date, and time stack in one column, and officials for a game stack one per line. The schedule spreadsheet keeps weekday and date in separate columns, uses a status of published, unpublished, or cancelled, includes how many officials the game needs, and lists each official as a position column followed by a name column (Last, First). Labels that start with Export download a file. Scheduling tools holds Auto-Assign and Assign by Official so they stay separate from the per-game Assign button. When Auto-Assign is on and you have selected games, Auto-Assign also appears on the red selection bar. Assignors also get counters, standings when the league module is on, and assignment charts. Print is hidden inside the native mobile apps. Spreadsheet cells that look like formulas are protected so they stay text.
Items you are not allowed to use do not appear. Observers see a simpler export. Payroll, analysis, and charts follow your role and organization settings. On each game, Assign, Evaluate, Map, Notes, Invite, and Travel appear only when that game and your settings allow them.
If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout
On desktop or laptop, Master Game Schedule may still look like the older layout until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Games often sit in a table with an Action column. Assign is the icon in that column. Publish or unpublish by clicking Yes or No in the Published column, or use the Publishing top toolbar after you select games. Add Games, Send TBAs, Cancel Games, Mass-Edit (under Automation), and Auto-Assign (under Automation) sit on the top toolbar, not on a red Actions bar.
Filters sit in a Schedule Search & Filter bar. Click the bar (or the eyeballs) once to open it, set the date range and other limits, then click Search. Sorting order is the three lists on that bar. If you have not set a sort, the older layout starts with Date, then Location, then Time. Click RESET to return to the default window. Those older filters, including sort, stay for this sign-in and reset the next time you sign in, unless you click Set Default to keep the current filters (including sort) as your saved defaults. The default date range you can set in Personal Profile is separate and does not save sort. Assignors are limited to a shorter default date window than general members.
A search still shows a limited number of games at once. Narrow the date range or other filters if the list stops at that limit. The New Horizon Experience loads more games as you scroll instead.
