Your reputation on the pickup court used to disappear the second you left. NETR changes that. After every game, the people you ran with rate you: six skill categories, one score. No coaches. No scouts. No combines. Just the players who were actually there. YOUR NETR SCORE Built from peer ratings across six categories: scoring, defense, passing, athleticism, IQ, and Vibe. The Vibe score is separate — because skill isn't the only thing that matters at a pickup run. WHY PEER RATINGS WORK You can't fake it in front of 10 people who just played with you. Your NETR score is verified by the community. The only people qualified to judge a pickup game. FIND YOUR RUN See courts near you. Find players at your level. Know who can hoop before you show up. YOUR REP TRAVELS Built your name at Rucker? Known at West 4th? Now everyone knows, not just the people at your court. Starting in New York City. Expanding everywhere the game is played.

RefScore is the app for sports officials whose organizations use RefScore to assign games, evaluate officials and pay them. GAMES See every assignment with its date, venue, crew and pay. Accept or decline from the notification, and check in on game day. AVAILABILITY Mark the days you can work and send the month to your assignor. REFSCORE Your evaluation score, with category breakdowns and how it has changed over time. EVALUATIONS Read your completed evaluations and the comments behind the numbers. Observers can record voice notes at a game; with their consent the recording is transcribed into a draft evaluation. MESSAGES Message your assignor, the crew for a game, or RefScore support. Report a message or block a crewmate from inside the conversation. PAYMENTS Set up payouts once, then track what is pending and what has been paid. FIND GAMES Browse open games and tournaments from organizations looking for officials. An invitation from your assignor connects your account to your organization. Without one you can still set up your profile and availability and see how RefScore works.
