Does it replace Full-Time?

No. You import fixtures from Full-Time and keep using it for results, tables and marks. penalty.app handles availability, appointments and late changes.

I run more than one league. Is that one account?

Yes. All your leagues, divisions and age groups — one login, one weekend view.

Can my assistant help?

Yes. Invite assistants who can help with appointments, for the divisions you choose.

Who can see my referees' details?

Only you and the people you invite to your league. We never show other leagues where your referees are appointed.

THE AVAILABILITY SHEET

Half the panel updated it. The other half? You'll find out on Friday night.

SATURDAY, 8:47AM

'Ref's got flu.' Cue the panel WhatsApp, a Full-Time edit and three phone calls before kick-off.

ONE EMAIL AT A TIME

Appointments sent one by one, then chased one by one. One secretary told us it takes about 5 hours a week.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. Then it's just your weekend.

We set you up

Add your leagues, divisions and age groups — we'll help you do it.

Invite your panel

Share a link or paste a list of emails.

Appoint the weekend

Late change?

Find cover in one tap.Coming soon

Every league, one weekend view

Saturday and Sunday, adults and youth, all your divisions on one screen. Filled slots in green, open ones flagged. Appoint the lot in one sitting.

Know who's actually free

Referees keep their own availability up to date in a couple of taps. You only see who's free — and you're warned before you double-book someone across two leaguesComing soon.

Late changes in one tapComing soon

‘Find cover’ asks every free, eligible referee at once. The first to accept gets the game, and the home club secretary is told automatically. No WhatsApp scramble.

And the little things that matter

Optional acknowledgement deadlines
Age-group rule for 14 and 15 year old referees applied automatically

THE BIT THAT MAKES IT EASY

Your referees don't need the app.

Anyone can accept or decline straight from the appointment email, in one tap. Referees who do join get every league's appointments in one place, their matches and fees logged for them, and unpaid fees chased — free.

Works alongside Full-Time

Import your fixtures from Full-Time. Keep your results, tables and club marks in Full-Time, just as you do today. penalty.app looks after availability, appointments and late changes.

penalty.app is independent. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by The FA or Full-Time.

BUILT BY A REFEREE

“I referee in London most weekends, so I'm on the other end of these appointment emails. I built penalty.app to make that week easier for both of us.”

Arnaud · founder, penalty.app

Questions secretaries ask

No. They can accept or decline every appointment from the email. Those who join get their appointments from all your leagues in one place.

We're onboarding a small number of leagues this season.
