If anybody has a copy, could they post a version of the "test" that was required for certain positions such as Referee?

I have not seen this in competition, so I can't give a definite answer, but my belief is that it would depend on if the ball had crossed the opponent's lane marker as well, as in, made a lap around the field. Again, don't take my word on that.

I think that in LA the head ref, Curtis, did a great job explaining rules to teams, and dealing with a constant barrage of team challenges (often for miscounting, almost all of which ended up being the team simply not reading the rules). One instance Curtis didn't know the proper ruling, so he called up Aidan to get a ruling. I thought that was pretty cool. He also did a call with Aidan after Friday to go over questions in rulings, which he announced on Saturday.

The referee test and training materials cannot be released to the public, as it may give the perception of an unfair advantage to some teams.
