I never heard of them until your post. I went to their website and found out that you can be a "free" member to get games or a "platinum" member and pay a fee to get games. It also states that "platinum" members get priority over "free" members. I couldn't find anywhere on their site as to the areas they cover.

I wonder what happens when they assign you a kid's game, or a men's recreation game, and then you get a last minute phone call from your high school assigner for a high school varsity game at the same time?

I am not surprised to see this. There is a lot of money being made in youth sports and some entrepreneur is trying to get his slice of that cash. I don't see it as working in the long run because of the disconnect between the needs of programs (in any sport) and the ability of this company to have competent officials in that geographic area.
As an official, I would be concerned about actually getting paid for the games I worked. If I were a coach or tournament director, I would be concerned that this virtual company could actually find officials for my games. But the technology certainly has the potential for this to work. I presume that is what the company is counting on.

I might have misunderstood the concept, but it appears that if you sign up as an official you could get games to go anywhere. So you could be asked to work games in a vast area and this appears to be geared more towards youth sports and not HS sports. I just do not see it working well because will these leagues have enough available officials to cover a local league. I know many people are not going to travel all over the place to work a youth league because of the pay and the other problems to get to these games outside of your area.
Peace

I looked at the enrollment form. You can limit how far you will travel, with the shortest distance being 10 miles.
