Referees and Human Players

[TKM.368]

Volunteer coordinators were explicitly told to have five referees and one head referee - no more, no less.

Referees: Strict limit due to desire on FRC’s part for greater consistency in the calls. VCs are saying that recruiting and retaining referees is difficult due to stringent cap on number of volunteers. VCs state they need more flexibility in staffing, and not be limited in terms of numbers. VC request to fix the situation this year.

Referee Update: Why can we only have 5 referees, not more? Update from FRC – no solution for this season but to update [FRC Volunteer Coordinator]. If this rule is affecting your event, please alert [FRCVC]. [She] needs more solid feedback so she can advocate for the VCS regarding referees.
