Frequently asked questions
What is Whistle?
Whistle is a HuddleUp Sports app where leagues and towns post games and sports officials — umpires and referees — claim them and get paid. It's a two-sided platform that connects officials looking for paid games with the organizations that need them.
How do officials get paid?
Officials claim open games, show up and officiate, and get paid fast and securely through Stripe once the organizer marks the game complete. Pay for each game is shown up front, so you always know what you'll earn before you claim.
What sports does Whistle support?
Whistle is completely sport-agnostic. Whether it's baseball, soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball, or anything else that needs an official, leagues can post games and officials can claim them.
How much does Whistle cost?
Whistle is free for officials to join, browse leagues, and claim games. Leagues use Whistle to post games, manage their crew, and pay officials through secure Stripe payouts.
Can I be both an official and a league organizer?
Yes. Your role lives on each league membership, so you can organize one league and officiate in another — all from a single HuddleUp account.
How do leagues manage officials?
Organizers create a league, bulk-add their game schedule, and approve the officials who request to join. When a game is done, they mark it complete and Whistle pays the assigned officials automatically.
