This section will be expanded soon
  • Number of Refs needed for inter-league competition: At least one, no more than two.
    • When two Refs are available, the Ref standing in the 'Red Wing Zone' concentrates on watching the 'Red Skaters' while the other Ref concentrates on watching the 'Blue Skaters'.
    • When there is only one Ref she must watch both teams.
  • Referee Certification - Planned for the future.
  • Required Gear: Striped shirt, whistle, stopwatch (skates and protective gear are optional for Refs).
  • Where to stand: More diagrams will be added.
Referees usually stand in the Wing Zones. They move out of the way of the Wing Dodgers as needed.
