That's good to know, I didn't know that, 5 may still be one short, but i'm definitely not an expert!

At LSR, the refs handled it by having two of the positions act as dedicated scorers, and two of them act as dedicated foulers...

That's a very neat idea, i'm sure that helps!

I imagined him being positioned near the truss actually, but you are right: no position is ideal.
Maybe if he was focused on scoring/pedestal he could afford to look away from the field and maybe even take a couple of steps towards the relevant pedastel?
Also, as far as I could tell some of the problem was when refs hit a button on the touchscreen and for some reason it didn't register: because of the frantic pace the refs would usually try to get back to the game ASAP, assuming the press was registered. A dedicated scoring ref could solve this problem.
Maybe that's what the 5th added for week 2 is supposed to be doing?
