Description
Time, score, card and replacement keeping for Rugby Referees. Works for all Wear OS watches, and most Garmin watches (find it in the Connect IQ Store).
The watch app works standalone and will help you keep track of your game. A tile for quick lookup of the result of the last games. The companion app for the phone (Android) is there for convenience and to share match reports.
Features * Keep game time * Keep score (with player number) * Record cards * Sin bin clocks * Kick clocks (penalty, conversion and restart), tap this clock to confirm success or miss * Vibrate to indicate end of a half or sin bin * Swipe back to remove any event entered by mistake * Track which team kicks off a half * Set team color * Penalty tracking * Show report for completed games * A tile that shows the result of the last games (tap the game for the match report) * Different game types (15s, 10s, 7s, etc.) * Custom game type, change game time, sin bin time, etc. * Count the game time up or down * Store games for 30 days
Features on phone * Load games from the watch * Share a game report via Whatsapp, email, etc. * Edit game report (add reason for yellow card) * Prepare game settings on your phone and send it to your watch * Create and store custom match types
Permissions * Nearby devices To be able to connect with companion phone app. Can be safely rejected if you do not plan on using the companion phone app. * Notifications 'Match ongoing' this is an ongoing notification during a game, this makes sure the app does not get killed during a game. 'Time up reminder' if you set the screen to go off automatically, it is no longer possible to vibrate the watch to let you know the half or sin bin is done. As a work around, the app will create this notification when time is up, you can set the notification to vibrate (default watch behavior).
Recent changes: * Delete button on watch to delete a match * Undo/Redo time off and ending of period * Improved prepare screen for smaller screens * Added a tile for quick lookup of your last matches * Red card time * League match type (with different drop goal points) * Small improvements

Best rugby referee app. Preset for 15s, 10s, 7s, and it's customizable for other variables. Choose team colors and record the player number of scores and cards.

Does a great job. Works very well and has pretty much everything you would need for reffing a rugby match. With regard to the companion app on the phone... I seem to have duplicate custom match types. I'm not sure whether I created them inadvertently or what, is there a way to delete them?

For only one word AWESOME. I love it and use it for all my games. Rugby 15,7's, beach and touch. The only negative, but it is not the app fault is when it rains. The touch screen watch becomes very difficult to operate. You track scoring (drop penalty or try). Has a shot clock that comes up apart when a try is scored or penalty and goes for polls. Same for yellow cards. Can track who score (player no). Track sups, yellow/red cards. Just spend some time to learn everything and you will love.

Cannot update watch but connects. Huwai gte 2 e
★★☆☆☆Angus· Jun 7, 2025
Great to use during the game. Might be worth reviewing the Penalty protocol. Give the option for the goal kick before initiating the count-down. (Goal Kick yes/no. Times out to no or clicking yes initates the countdown) Great app on the watch but the phone app and the connection between watch and phone app is absolutely horrendous.
