Assigning referees to basketball games has never been more demanding—or more important. Between growing leagues, tighter schedules, and increasing expectations for communication and reliability, assignors need tools that work smarter, not harder. In 2025, one platform stands out above the rest for meeting these challenges head-on: Refr Sports.

The result? Fewer errors, fewer calls, and more trust from your officials and partners.
In 2025, mobility isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
