Whistle Watch

A referee must stay focused at the game. Timekeeping must be done in a good way and this App can help with this by supporting the referee.

A match consists of 1 or more periods. The duration and optional pause time can be set for each period. The referee will not only be helped with correct time keeping, but the App will also alert the referee by means of vibration and / or sound.

The App can also keep track of the score and possible issued cards. Cards can be linked to a time penalty for a player, so that the App indicates at the right time that the time has elapsed and the player can participate again.

Finally, at the end of the match, the App gives an overview of the match with the registration of goals, cards, times and periods.

The App is made with field hockey in mind, but can also be used with other sports. For example indoor hockey, soccer and other types of team sports for which time needs to be kept per period.

With this App it becomes possible for the referee to share the match using a match code. Others can enter this match code in their App and then follow what the referee is doing. When a referee changes the score or pauses the match, all linked devices will see that nearly instantly.
