I know that all the referees had to take an online training course for two days. Isn't it at all possible that there could be tests and refreshers for the refs leading up to the competitions? I know that a lot of teams do rules tests for the students (and mentors in some cases) to make sure they know the rules inside and out. Who's to say that's out of the question for making sure the officials are prepared?
