I hope at St. Louis, there are 9 refs for each match. Two at each pad, and the Head Ref. The 4 pad refs watch the ball, and the other 4 refs watch their area away from the ball.

I always felt like it looked like the head ref was looking straight at it and one other ref as well, but that might just be me.
That seems like an awful lot of refs to be watching the field. I think maybe one or two more at most would be useful. But whatever way it goes, hopefully the rest of this season works as it should and teams gain everything they can out of the experience that this year provides.
The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. - Mark McLeod [more]
