Master the Laws of the Game
Duolingo-style training for referees. Learn the Laws, test your knowledge with real match scenarios, and track your progress to certification.
The Challenge Every Referee Faces
Dense Law Books
The Laws of the Game document is comprehensive but dry. I've seen people read it cover-to-cover and still freeze when making real match decisions.
No Practice Environment
You can't practice making split-second decisions until you're in a real match. By then, mistakes cost you credibility.
Exam Pressure
Referee exams test obscure scenarios. I've noticed even experienced refs struggle with edge cases when they haven't practiced them.
Learn by Doing, Not Reading
I built RefereeGPT because I know how hard it is to turn law knowledge into match-day decisions. Answer questions, learn from mistakes, build confidence.
Gamified Learning
Duolingo-style progression. Earn points, maintain streaks, and level up as your knowledge grows. I've found this approach makes learning stick.
Real Match Scenarios
Practice with situations you'll actually face. Not abstract law recitation - real decisions with real consequences.
Progress Tracking
See which Laws you've mastered and where you need work. Focus your study time on what matters.

Targeted preparation for referee certification exams. Know what to expect before you sit the test.
