About
The Tennessee Valley Soccer Referees’ Association (TVSRA) is part of a state soccer association under the U.S. Soccer Federation. It supports referees by providing tools and resources to handle match incidents effectively. The association ensures proper communication and record-keeping, even during high-stakes games.
Challenge
Referees within the TVSRA faced inefficiencies in managing incident reports. The traditional method of downloading, printing, and manually filling out PDF forms proved cumbersome. Even when tech-savvy referees adopted fillable PDFs, issues like improperly saved forms and difficulty in locating specific reports persisted. Moreover, weekend games could result in thousands of submissions, overwhelming administrators.
Solution
Jotform Smart PDF Forms enabled the TVSRA to convert static PDF forms into dynamic online forms that maintain the required standardized format. Using the Jotform Mobile Forms app, referees can now fill out incident reports directly on their mobile devices, even without internet access.
Results
Jotform has streamlined incident reporting for TVSRA referees. With searchable databases, completed PDFs retain their standardized format while remaining easily accessible. Referees can efficiently handle reports, and administrators can quickly locate specific data using Jotform’s organizational tools.
Streamlined and Searchable Data Management
Jotform gives us a database that’s searchable by team name and game number. It also provides a copy of the original PDF, and it’s recognizable to every referee.
