I don't imagine a swap could have done much, but then again I wasn't at the event.

I can't really comment on anything else there.

For the most part, it was the same refs for almost all of the matches. They were rotated more between Thursday and Friday, rather the between matches.

I meant that they rotated positions, not refs per say. Fully rotating refs is pretty unrealistic, there just aren't enough refs out there. Normally they have an extra ref that rotated around for "breaks". I believe they were specifically commenting on the fact that the one side of the field was calling fouls harder than the other.
