What is Referee Lights?

Referee Lights is a web platform that replaces traditional physical referee light panels. Each referee uses their own phone to vote (GOOD LIFT or NO LIFT), and decisions appear instantly on the main display — perfect for in-person or live-streamed competitions.

How to use in 5 steps

From zero to a running competition. No app install needed on referee phones.

1
Open the Admin Panel

Click "Create session now" above. The system automatically generates a room with a PIN and QR Codes for the referees.

2
Share the QR Codes

Each referee scans their corresponding QR Code (left, center, right) with their phone camera. The referee console opens directly in the browser — no app download needed.

3
Open the Display

In the admin panel, click "Open Display" and put this screen on the projector or TV. Referee lights appear here in real time.

4
Start the competition

Referees vote on their phones. The lights (white = valid, red = invalid) appear on the display once all votes are in. Use the timer and intervals from the admin panel.

5
Live streaming (optional)

Open the Legend/Chroma Key screen and capture it in OBS Studio to overlay referee decisions on your live stream.
