Partway through the season, Aidan gave the head refs permission to add additional referees and have some of the referees focus entirely on ball tracking and scoring. That's why, at the later events, you saw the four referees at tablets and 2-3 others without tablets. The specific arrangement and duties varied depending on how the head referee wanted to run it, but the referees at the scoretable-side pads were doing the ball tracking and scoring.
