About Us

Meet the team building the future of officiating technology

Our company's foundation is built by former student-athletes, officials from a multitude of sports, and, people with high competency of athletic administration.

Modern sports are evolving faster than ever, and officiating needed better infrastructure.So we built it.

Our standards

The core values that drive us forward

01

Built by the Game, for the Game

Sports are the foundation of our DNA. RQ+ was founded by officials and athletes who lived the problem before they built the solution. Every product decision reflects that insider credibility. We don't approximate what officiating needs, we know it.

02

Private by Design

Officiating data is sensitive. Assignments, evaluations, compensation, and personnel belong to the organizations that own them. We build with confidentiality as a structural principle, not an afterthought.

03

End-to-End Accountability

We don't hand off. Registration, collaboration, scheduling, payment, development - it all connects. Our commitment is to own the full lifecycle so nothing falls through the gaps between tools.

04

Giving Back to the Game

The shortage of officials is a problem that needs to be solved. Through RQ Culture and the RQ Foundation, we treat the growth of officiating as a way to give back to the games we love and support the next generation of officials.

Mission and vision

Mission

To provide sports officials, assignors, and leagues with the infrastructure they need to do their jobs with precision - from registration and scheduling to education, payment, and development - all in one private, customizable platform.

Vision

A world where officiating is recognized, resourced, and respected - and where every stakeholder in the officiating ecosystem has the tools to grow, perform, and get paid without friction.
