I cant believe 2 people that have been playing the game for a long while and have reputations (at least to me) to be able to handle themselves cannot ref their own match. The rules are so simple to follow that a legal retard could abide by them.
Referees are more for convenience than necessity.
but it becomes an inconvenience once the whole match date is in jeopardy due to not having a referee. at least imo
Match dates are rarely if ever put in jeopardy due to not having a referee. If one of the signed up refs don't take the match, then myself or Jorge (or both) can take it.
The reason why I wouldn't support regiments reffing their own matches in a league is because it's extremely unreliable. Everyone's played a 1v1 where the host regiment ref's and is slow to slay or reset, or perhaps slay's for reasons you disagree with, and chances are everyone has been the regiment who hosts a match and ref's it and has been slow to slay or reset or slay's for a reason their opponent disagrees with, and that doesn't really change if both regiments ref it together. Sure, a neutral ref might make a few mistakes, but at the very least (at most he won't make any mistakes), it won't be looked at as a blatant attempt to hamper one sides ability to win, which won't potentially cause an even greater delay (unless of course one side can make a case that the neutral ref screwed them over whether intentionally or not).
