## What is Water Polo Referee Companion?

Water Polo Referee Companion is an audio assistant for water polo referees. Paired with a Water Polo Board at the pool, it speaks key clock and score cues to your Bluetooth headset or a compatible referee radio, so you can keep your eyes on the water instead of the scoreboard. It runs your exclusion, violent action/brutality and timeout timers, and before the game the Course Marker tool measures the pool markings with the help of augmented reality.

CUES REQUIRE A WATER POLO BOARD
- The cues work with the Water Polo Board, a small wireless receiver that reads a supported wireless scoreboard at the pool and relays the live timing to your phone over Bluetooth.
- Without a paired Water Polo Board the app cannot receive a live game.
- Measuring the pool needs no Board. Learn more at https://lgias.com/wpboard/

FREE CUES
- Announcement at ten seconds on the game clock
- Announcement when the score changes

ALL ACCESS, ONE PURCHASE
- One purchase opens everything else the app does: the rest of the spoken cues, the timers, and all course measurements.

AT THE DESK
- Exclusion or a violent action/brutality timer with one tap, counting playing time. End them early with one tap if needed.
- Timeout timers count real time, not game time
- Leave a phone or iPad at the table: turn on Guided Access and the app becomes a single game screen that stays awake, with a Call Referee button that calls the referee over

MEASURE THE POOL
- The Course Marker tool draws the course on the pool deck through your camera: the 2 m, 5 m, and 6 m marks from each end, the half distance, and the goal lines, each with a ring right where the cone goes.
- Works on any iPhone or iPad that supports augmented reality; devices with LiDAR measure best.
