01
When do I have to leave?
Start time, minus how early you report, minus the drive. The book does the subtraction for the next game you are booked on, even when it crosses midnight.
For referees, umpires and every paid official
Your season,
game by game.
Next Whistle is a game book for sports officials. It tells you when to leave for the next game, which games are worked but not paid, and what the season has earned, with the miles you drove.
No account, no email. Free for 12 games a season. Season Pass $1.95 a month or $19.50 a year Free during preview.

Three questions the book answers
02
Who still owes me?
Mark a game worked and it moves to the owed list, oldest first, with the days since the game. Mark it paid and it leaves the list.
03
What did the season pay?
Earned, paid and owed for the calendar year, the round-trip miles of every game you worked, and their value at the mileage rate you choose.
Reads like a statement, not a spreadsheet.
Each season is set out the way a card statement is: one figure that matters, then the lines behind it. Status chips show at a glance what is booked, worked, paid or cancelled.
Example figures. Your book shows only what you type into it.

Plain answers
Does Next Whistle book games or talk to my assignor?
No. It never contacts anyone. You type in the games you have accepted; the book keeps them for you.
Where is my book kept?
On our server, opened by a private key that only you hold. We store a scrambled form of the key, never the key itself, and no name or email. Lose the key and the book cannot be opened.
Is the mileage figure a tax deduction?
Not necessarily. The book multiplies your miles by the rate you type in. Whether and how game fees and miles count for tax is a question for a tax professional; the book is a record, not advice.
Which sports?
Any sport that pays officials per game: baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, volleyball, wrestling and others.
