Good gravy, you are serious.

If a referee does not know the rules he is basing his calls on, that is not fair to the players, the spectators, or the tournament. Expecting the refs to know what they are doing is a necessary part of the game.

What's not fair to the referees this year is making them do double duty as scorekeepers.
