Ref-U

The first platform to gamify referee calls — turning controversial moments into real-time voting, education, and community.

The Problem

Fans want to understand the game better and are constantly frustrated by officiating — but there's no constructive, educational outlet, and nothing youth-safe for young athletes and families.

What We Did

A web and mobile platform where fans vote on referee calls during live games, earn points for accuracy, learn the rules through educational replays, and participate in moderated, youth-safe communities. Skafld delivered it end-to-end.

What We Built

Live Call Voting

Real-time agree/disagree voting with accuracy-based scoring.

Educational Replays

Post-game rule explanations that turn frustration into understanding.

Youth-Safe Community

Moderated spaces designed for young athletes and families.

Full-Stack Delivery

Web app, React Native mobile app, real-time backend, and a live data worker.
