At least your scoring refs HAD flags! At IE, we only had two flags, so they went to the foul-callers on the far side of the field. Our manual redundancy? The head ref and/or the FTA hauling tail to the end of the field to tell the team to pick up the ball.
BTW, I reffed Week 1. I've since put my name on the "available" list for a Week 4 event, seeing how overworked the refs were in Week 1. (I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.)
