Switching from Assignr
The all-in-one Assignr alternative
Assignr is a polished assign-and-pay tool with a great app. GameSource matches it on payments and 1099s — and adds registration, scores and standings, and tournaments, so leagues and associations run more than assigning in one place.

Where GameSource goes further
The broader platform — not just assign-and-pay
Scores, standings & tournaments
Track scores and standings and run tournaments in the same platform you assign and pay from.
One system for a league or association
Officials, members, games, payments, and 1099s together — not assigning bolted to separate tools.
Longer free trial
30 days with no credit card, versus Assignr’s 14 — more time to set up and see it work.
Straight talk
Where Assignr is stronger
Assignr is excellent at what it does. Its officials app is polished and well-reviewed, its pricing is public and simple, and it's been refined since 2009 across 900+ organizations. On core assigning, payments (officials keep 100%), and 1099-NEC filing, GameSource and Assignr are close to parity.
GameSource's edge is breadth: it also registers officials, coaches, and athletes, tracks scores and standings, and schedules tournament weekends — so a league or association manages more than assigning in one system.
“It is super user friendly, fast, and overall a better system.”
