Sports official Filter Sports official topics

A Sports official is a person who has authority to make decisions about play in many sports. Officials in various sports are known by a variety of titles, including: referee, umpire, judge, linesman, commissaire,...

It does not include team owners, league admins, or fictional officials like professional wrestling referees.
It does not map particular positions among officials like 'linesman', or 'timekeeper', as these are often switched around throughout a career. Particular games worked by the official must be mapped by more particular types, such as 'hockey referee',  as sports do not have a general 'game' or 'match' type, but are sorted using 'ping pong match', 'baseball game' etc.
It was built to parallel 'Pro Athlete',
but It may be used for children sports league officials etc.
