The complete tool for a handball referee. The playing time, the goals, the two-minute suspensions and the report, in one app that works with no signal at all. Several suspensions at once From both teams, each on its own clock, always on screen and ordered by who comes back first. The app counts every player's suspensions and warns on the third — the one that disqualifies. The number of players on court is always right, without anyone doing arithmetic. The clocks never stop because of the app: they survive the phone going in a pocket, the screen locking and the system killing the app. Suspensions run against the playing time rather than the wall clock, so a time-out freezes them and a suspension whistled before half time carries correctly into the second half. An Apple Watch that works on its own The running suspensions on your wrist, without walking to the table. The watch does not need the phone: its own clock, its own store, and a reconciliation whenever the two devices next see each other. Learn the rules Over 200 questions on the IHF Rules of the Game, each anchored to a rule, an article and a short quote of the official text, scheduled by spaced repetition. The rules are configuration 2 × 30 as the IHF plays it, the youth formats of Rule 2:1, minihandball and a free format. Half length, suspension length, players on court and team time-outs are all editable. No sign-up. No account. No data collected. RefHand is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with the IHF or any national federation. Free and PRO. Free covers three games with the clock, the score and the suspension panel, plus 20 study questions. PRO adds unlimited games and history, the PDF report signed with your own signature, statistics, the Apple Watch app, the full question bank and iCloud sync. The paywall never appears during a game.
