Panels are used to group Referees by level to ensure the integrity of officiating matches is maintained.

Panels define the relationship between Referees and the applicable types of roles within matches they can officiate across a competition. This then provides the structure that can drive the allocation of Referees to the applicable matches they can referee, either as a centre referee, assistant referee, fourth official or game leader.

To create a Panel, complete the following steps:

1. <u>[Log in to ](https://app.dribl.com/)</u><u>*[DRIBL](https://app.dribl.com/)*</u>
2. Select **Panels** from the **Actions** menu or the main navigation menu.
3. Click **+** **Create** from the task menu. The **Create Panel **form is displayed.
4. Enter all the required information for the [Panel Settings](#Panel-Settings).
5. Click **Create**.


Once Panels have been created, Referee Administrators can [map the applicable Referees to the appropriate Panels](https://dribl.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RA/pages/134185016).

> Note that the application of the Competitions, Age Groups and Divisions is aggregated.
> 
> As an example, if the following settings have been configured on a panel:
> 
> - **Competitions: ***Main*
> - **Age Groups: ***U14, U16*
> - **Divisions: ***01, 02*
> 
> This would result in the system to search for compositions of matches that meet the criteria below, so that suitable Referees are assigned to the corresponding matches.
> 
> - Main – U14 – Division 01
> - Main – U14 – Division 02
> - Main – U16 – Division 01
> - Main – U16 – Division 02
