my mistake. I misinterpreted what you wrote!
I don't think there is an easy solution to making ref calls more reliable.
At least not with the current number of refs most events are able to get.

Of course, all of these statements can be changed easily, but you'll lose other things. Want an exciting complicated game? - refs will be less reliable
Want reliable refs? - game will be more like Recycle Rush
Want both? - get more volunteers, or be okay with a much simpler game
