I'm pretty certain there were less than 9 referees on the field at a time at the Regionals. From video I watched, 7 referees (including the Chief Ref) on the Archimedes field. Refereeing was good (but not perfect, of course) on that field.

Each field had 4 referees in charge of scoring, 2 referees on the far side looking for infractions and the Head Referee. (Although if the possession refs saw something, ie G12, then they can make a call and let the HR know.) There would be two spare referees to help provide breaks to everyone. For elims and Einstein there was 4 referees strictly scoring, 4 referees strictly for infractions, and then the Head Referee.
During the regionals, significantly less. Originally it was 4 referees with a spare ref to provide breaks. Obviously not enough. Some events pulled off 5 referees on duty and 1 on break after an update from HQ came out. Whatever FIRST recommends, I try to push VCs to get 2 more than that.
