Ok Don, I'm gonna ask for an explanation. My role typically has me doing other things during matches and I don't have time to play a game of "watch the refs" so I'd appreciate if you'd humor me.

I can tell you the Match Observer judges typically[1] take a zone approach but unlike refs they can fairly quickly focus down on teams given feedback from other judges as well as their own intuition.
