Final whistle, and now for the fun part! This 4-minute walkthrough shows Arizona referee mentors how to give a crew real, useful feedback right from your phone at mentor.azref.com. It takes about two minutes per game. We'll follow our mentor, Dana, from the sideline to "Entries saved": signing in, finding your game, scoring each official, and the one question at the end, "Anything only the admins should see?" Most days the answer is "No, nothing this time." Some days, though, it's a yes, and that happens more often than you'd think. So we show what a yes looks like: ⚠ Concern: something worried you? Tap what you saw, and the admins take it from there. ▲ Stand-out: someone really impressed you? Tap everything that fits. ▲ Higher matches or Adult amateur: recommend a referee who's ready for more. The admins review every recommendation. Private notes are admin eyes only. The referee, the crew and parents never see them. No signal out at the fields? No problem. Your entries are saved on your phone and send themselves as soon as you're back in range. 📱 Mentor app: https://mentor.azref.com 📄 The full Mentor Feedback How-To Guide (PDF) comes with your welcome email. You're the difference.
