The Syndicate is updating it's list of referees for the World Cup 64:

Jason Hopley, 32, from Ashtage, Hyford is a firm but fair referee - he isn't too strict, but isn't afraid to make punishing decisions either. He's got a keen eye for faking, and dislikes players who over exaggerate their injuries.

Ryan Coles, 45, from Pinehearth, is one of they sternest referees you'll ever meet. Known as "The Ice King", Mr. Coles is incredibly harsh to anyone that breaks the rules or crosses him. Expect cards of all colours to be flying around, and don't expect any mercy.

The Democratic States of Schmiegelland is offering its best referee for the World Cup 64.

Malye Buin-Azen
36 years old
Born in the cold hills outside of Huabsa
Former player of the Masusopo Lion Tamers
Malye Buin-Azen is the most experienced referee in the Schmiegelland Liga A. He has managed many Sjandle derbies and is good at keeping players under control. A tackle from behind or a foul that takes down the tackled player will earn a red. A minor foul from the front, a handball, and arguing with him will earn you a yellow. He gives reds for diving occasionally, and also is prone to giving soft penalties. Don't be surprised if your team gets 2 reds before halftime. His decisions have caused riots after the Mietzie-Huabsa or the Sjandle derbies.

Dobruj Ginatsun (age 51)

As one of the most senior and experienced referees in the Pzetrovlaskian league, Dobruj Ginatsun was officially picked to represent Pzetrovlaskia in the 64th NSWC. He is a rather lenient referee, who likes to keep the play flowing, and play the advantage, even though he hates when players are being cocky, and will easly flash a red or a yellow if inclined!

The BFA has elected Orlo Franks as their referee for WC64.

Franks is an experienced and even-handed referee. He is not afraid to reach for the yellow, but will often hesitate before handing out a red. He is often suspicious that players are diving or faking injury, and may not award a penalty if he thinks the player is faking.

The NFCS has selected Ratko Isaksson (Age 48) as Shadowbourne's referee for World Cup 64. Isaksson has over 15 years' experience as an official, serving over a decade of those as a referee. He is one of the Frescola Premier League's most respected and well-liked referees, and is consistently selected to the championship game squad. While Isaksson has a reputation as a comedian on the pitch, he excels at keeping players under control. He has a very high tolerance for verbal abuse, and rarely gives out yellow cards if a player argues with him. He will let most pushing and shoving slide, although any push that knocks a player to the ground will result in a yellow. Any tackle from behind will result in a swift red. When it comes to flopping, Isaksson gives players a verbal warning for their first offence, a yellow for their second, and a red card for their third. He calls a very fair match for both sides, regardless of who is playing, and is extremely upbeat and energetic.

Referee Name: Arnowaldo Capouviaro Age 34, Base Town, Powersith.

This man is one of the best known referees when it comes to soccer/football in Powersith. He is a no nonsense guy, and will not tolerate complaining to his calls. He is very strict to the rules. Every call he does is final, and will not take arguments. He has been a referee for 10 years, and has refereed the Powersith Premier League, and Powersith Elite League finals.

Referee Name: Kylie Boardo Age 27, West City, Powersith

Another well known referee in Powersith. Very relaxed, and does not get angry that much. Will joke with the players when they joke with her. However, she will go by the rules, and has eyes like a hawk, so it will be tough to get away with some fouls. All her calls will be final and will not have any arguments. She has been a referee for 5 years, but has refereed the Powersith Elite League matches and finals, and also Powersith College Soccer matches.

Referee: John Douglas, Chansin, Ryuka. Age 26.

A young referee, learning the ropes by his mentor. Learnt to be strict and not to hesitate. If he has a gut feeling, he's going to act on it. If other player do confront him, he will yell back and book players without thought. He is short tempered.

Referee: Rafayet Alam, New Saudire, Saudiarisistan. 37

He absolutely loves the game. Because of his love he would like to see this classic game continued. His biggest pet peeve are players faking injuries. He would book them, no questions asks. Even if a legitimate injury occurs, the game will continue until the ball reaches or crosses the halfway point. Mr. Alam is not afraid to go to the coaches bench and kick him out of the game as well.

For the WC65, The Paradystopi Commonwealth will send one referee from each of it's recognised autonomous territories.

Image
Salli Lorjken (of Paradystopia - PDT)

Salli Lorjken is a recently qualified referee who passed all the relevant exams with flying colours. Salli is can be quite lenient when it comes to giving out cards and tries to allow the game to flow. Don't be fooled into thinking she's a push over though. She has a strict no-tolerance policy towards back-chat and diving. In her first season, many players swiftly received a second yellow for disagreeing with her decisions.

Image
Rhenn Xulasz (of The Glorious Commune - TGC)

Rhenn Xulasz is a hideous beast of a man. Some wonder whether he actually enjoys football or whether it's merely something he does to make money. Often needlessly strict and may even give yellow cards should a player 'look at him in a funny way'. Known for being particularly biased to whichever team he prefers at any given moment.

Ideal candidate upon which to blame 'Acts of Margaret'

Image
Happy Scamperer (of The Paradystopi Lymryk Isles - PLI)

Happy Scamperer is a Pteronurian inhabitant of the Lymryk Isles (A sentient giant otter). It is obvious from his refereeing style that he loves the sport of football and will only blow the whistle if he really, really, REEEEAALLY needs to. His name echoes his temperament and he will rarely give out cards, instead hoping that everyone can just get along. Did once, however, send a player off because they refused to apologise to the victim of their rather nasty foul.

Image
Olga Yasog (of Ark - ARK)

Olga Yasog is one of two recently appointed official referees of the Lhigha Arka (in association with Shplojtm). She is an accurate and consistently good referee ... if you're a woman ... Like most Arkan women, she is prone to crass amounts of sexism towards men. She has promised to be a little more open-minded should she be chosen to officiate a match in the World Cup but, in all honesty, this is doubtful ...

May be blamed for bad results should you have any male players in your team. Species irrelevant ...

Amala Inakonz

Age: 33

Location of Birth: Milubatar

Amala Inakonz is one of the most lenient referees in Schmiegelland. He is also one of the most athletic, and uses both in a way that annoys strikers. Many small, insignificant fouls will just get you a warning. Arguing with him will get you a yellow. Obviously, a tackle from behind or a professional foul will earn you a red. He is known to keep whiskey-laced hot chocolate in his pocket or in his hand during most/all games.

Lucius Caeparius

Lucius Caeparius is an official from Saintland. Renowned as one of the best officials in Saintland's Soccer League, Caeparius has a reputation as a fair referee, in Saintland. Caeparius is normally reluctant to call fouls.

However, as Caeparius is a Sanctii official, he is biased against nations that are rivals with Saintland and is also biased against female players. He doesn't believe that female players belong on the pitch and will not hesitate to card them at the slightest excuse. When he isn't officiating, Caeparius is a huge gridiron fan. He was in attendance at Royal Stadium for that infamous visit by the Equestrian States team to Saintland during World Bowl XX, a gridiron game that is famously known as the Mud Bowl (where the heir to the throne of Saintland, Saintland QB Prince Petrus, was injured).

Graham Brandt

Image
An immigrant from England, this guy is quite a good-hearted chap at the ripe age of 71. While he is good-spirited, he also boasts an IQ approaching 185 (Leonardo Da Vinci was estimated to be an IQ 190). He memorized the whole rulebook and will recite the exact phrasing if any question is made on a play. He is fair, and while he isn't known for red cards, he will still use them. If a player objects, he will listen. If a player starts to argue, he'll let the player vent. But if the rant goes on for too long, he'll point at his watch and say "Wrap it up". They usually do, out of respect. If they don't, he will red-card them, but most people have such respect for him as a human being that they stop.

His tolerance level for animals is lower. This is probably due to an incident when he was a boy, he was trampled by a horse. He does not have any problems with elves or other humanoids.

He can often be found cleaning up litter around any stadium that he officiates in. He always enjoys when people join him, and he will tell stories about how football was "back in the good ole days". Quite entertaining stories, even if the numbers are slightly exaggerated. He also can be found before games with his lone grandchild, a 4-year old boy who has a fascination about soccer.

RP: Don't harm the old man, but feel free to have a player argue about his legalism. Don't blame him for bad calls, either.

Bonesea Referees for World Cup Cycle 77

Yes, this is something of a gravedig; but it seems to me it's for a good cause that could - and hopefully will - rejuvenate this thread. Feel free to copypasta my formatting if you want to... or not.

CZ Starling

Age:		43
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Grafter

Residence: Amblesea, Isle of Skive
Supporter: Gymnasia Scold

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Steady jogger
Game Flow: Very liberal
Rule Book: More of a guide
Yellow Card: Prefer not to
Red Card: May have left it in the changing room
Communication: Likes a chat with whoever is nearby
Integrity: Unblemished
Consistency: Entirely reliable

BIO
Mr. CZ Starling - that's short for Caesar Zebedee - might easily be described as a 'reliable plodder' in life; he is an agricultural sort of fellow, working for the Bonesea Orchard Greenhouse Collective up in Amblesea, where he cultivates apples and plums during the short summer season some distance beyond the natural northern border for horticulture, as well as year-round crops of cloudberries, crowberries, blackberries, whineberries, lingonberries and arctic blueberries. I'm telling you this because it's the kind of conversation CZ likes to have with players in downtimes, perhaps when the floodlights have failed or a small pitch invasion - usually from Boney Elks or herds of wild Bonesea Hares - has stopped play. He's a likeable fellow who doesn't take football too seriously and prefers to see it played with the ball rather than the whistle. He can forgive players most of their infractions, and likes arguments to be sorted out in the proper way, by stepping back and letting the confrontation run its course, usually reminding the players that he would prefer not to use cards if they might find some inner restraint. He commands great respect from his calm attitude and laissez-faire approach to the sport, and does seem to inspire the inner restraint he asks of his charges.



Kasey 'Revolver' Jones

Age:		26
Gender: Female
PAEIPS:* Temperamental

Residence: Florence, Spittalsea
Supporter: Florence Boldclub

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: An endless series of olympian sprints
Game Flow: This whistle was made for blowing
Rule Book: Stickler
Yellow Card: Sometimes uses it as a fan in hot weather
Red Card: May be her favourite colour
Communication: Uni-directional shouting
Integrity: Absolute
Consistency: As predictable as a wasp on speed

BIO
Kasey 'Revolver' Jones might be described as a firebrand, although some have described her as a hooligan in a black shirt. No-one in Bonesea is deceived by her slight frame, her age or her gender: she is usually the most fearsome individual on the field of play even when officiating a muddy churn of twenty-two brawling Bonesmen in the hardiest clashes of the Bonesligg. Whilst no-one would question her impartiality (at least, not within earshot) there is no doubt that if you get on the wrong side of her, she will make things very difficult for you. A champion sprinter, long-distance runner and occasional moose jockey, Revolver Jones also plays women's football to a high level and is a campaigner for mixed-gender churning. She only referees in the men's code while enjoying some notoriety and a great deal of admirers for her playing role with top Bonesea women's club Dragonflies, based in the capital. Running matches as a boisterous and generally angry official, she terrorises men in the game with her speed, temper and surprisingly loud and sharp tone. Never having any control issues apart from her own volatile complexion, she oozes a sort of deadly pheromonal warning system that instantly suggests to even the most burly braggart that she is not to be trifled with, and although players will get frustrated with her constantly confrontational approach, at least they know where they stand with her - usually somewhere on the spectrum between 'disappointing' and 'dead-to-me'.

Or referee a football match.

Raphael Barron

Age:		32
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Leader

Residence: Crisisbless
Supporter: Crisisbless United

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Nice change of pace on him
Game Flow: Let it flow
Rule Book: The law is the law
Yellow Card: Quick to yellow, slow to red
Red Card: Fatherly disappointment
Communication: Uses nicknames freely
Integrity: Incorruptible
Consistency: Freely admits to 'evening up' soft calls

[/pre]
BIO
Barron's cheerful, likeable and properly Nepharim in ideology - he just wants a good, flowing game, and doesn't mind whose ACL gets snapped in the process as long as they got the ball before the man. He keeps an active social media presence to try and explain his decisions, and admits freely to errors when they're made. He's slow to whistle, quick to card - if you did enough to draw a foul, it was probably something pretty bad. Considered a moderate by Nepharim standards. Considered very leniant by most of the world's standards.




Joanna Brunet

Age:		34
Gender: Female
PAEIPS:* Beast

Residence: Cranequin
Supporter: Cranequin City

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Always sprinting
Game Flow: Occasionally forgets she has a whistle
Rule Book: Benefit from constructive interpretation
Yellow Card: For two-footed studs-up reducers
Red Card: Left it in the changing rooms
Communication: Slaps on the back and handshakes all around
Integrity: Would take the money and then not rig the result
Consistency: Strives to be

BIO
'The centre-half's friend', Brunet is considered leniant by Nepharim standards, and it's unclear how she got WCC accreditation. At the end of the day, she just fundamentally likes football, and this is obviously something of a dream job for her. She likes letting the game flow, and absolutely does not cave to the pressure of home stadiums. She likes the idea that she's everyone's friend, to an equal measure, and is usually spitefully quick to card people who give her lip. Not for dissent, only babies card for dissent, but just treating them less than even-handedly from then onwards.

Stephan Janos

Age:		29
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Professor

Residence: San Manuel, Cedrus, Hearthlands
Supporter: FC United of San Manuel

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Seemingly omnipresent
Game Flow: Gridiron
Rule Book: Literal
Yellow Card: Hands them out like it was Christmas
Red Card: Zero tolerance
Communication: Pastor at sermon
Integrity: Holy Father
Consistency: Robotic

BIO
Janos is the type of referee that players are never quite fond of, and might even give rulemakers pause for thought. His tendency to follow the laws of the game to the letter means he often halts play for seemingly minor offences -- leading to the characterisation of his assignments as being like gridiron matches; though he will be quick to point out the exact offence you think you didn't commit. Just don't expect him to listen to your explanations and pleas, the rule is the rule. On he plus side, he is incredibly consistent, meaning you always know what to expect. Jostling at corners? Expect sanctions. Questionable challenge? Expect a whistle. Abusive language? Oh boy, you'll be seeing a card. He rarely misses a thing, too. So those sneaky digs on his blindside? Well... it's not even certain he has a blindside. Somehow.

Game Flow: Swift as the coursing river
Rule Book: Made to be bent
Yellow Card: Grudgingly
Red Card: If you murder a puppy, maybe
Communication: "Everyone loves Patsy Mac"
Integrity: Goodie two-shoes
Consistency: Unstable

BIO
As she herself would say, "everyone loves Patsy Mac". Remarkably popular among players for her lenient approach and inclination to allow the game to flow as much as possible. Far more likely to apply the advantage rule and show cautions retrospectively -- generally only when she feels there is no alternative -- her love of the game is evident in her officiating style. Always willing to have a chat with players and explain decisions calmly and with a smile, it's rare to see games under her charge boil over. Her disarmingly affable demeanour makes it difficult to get riled up, though it's notable that the OFA are yet to put her in charge of a local derby...

Haru Arakawa
Age: 41
Gender: Male
Personality: Arrogant
Residence: Janford, Janford Island
Supporter: Maris Rovers
Qualities
Box to Box: Runs as if he was still a player
Game Flow: Believes in letting players play without interference
Rule Book: Tries to use common sense instead of using the letter of the law
Yellow Card: For challenges when there isn't a chance of getting the ball
Red Card: Only for ridiculous challenges that risk injury without winning the ball
Communication: Acts like he's still one of the players
Integrity: Incorruptable, but this same attitude has made him stubborn
Consistency: Pretty good, however he can be too stubborn to change any missed calls


BIO
Haru got into the business of being a referee because he didn't want to go into TV analysis and didn't have any other thing to go into after retiring from football. He played at the pro level from the time he was eighteen until he was thirty five, spending the largest amount of time playing centerback for Janford City and Markham Armor. He's kept in shape after his playing days, so expect to see him outrunning the slower players and getting as close to the action as possible. He also sees the game from a player's perspective more than other refs, so he's likely to let the players play and not blow the whistle for things that are in a grey area of legality.

Jennifer de Montana
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Personality: Determined
Residence: Barrio Sul, South Maris
Supporter: Castle United
Qualities
Box to box: Surprisingly pacey for someone that's shorter than all the players
Game Flow: Balanced, prone to stop the game more after a lot of physicality is shown by both teams
Rule Book: Applies it a lot, but consistently to both teams
Yellow Card: Used liberally
Red Card: Used more for when players talk back than when they make bad tackles
Communication: Doesn't speak much, but when she does, it's wise to listen
Integrity: She's not impossible to bribe, but you would need a ton of cash to do so
Consistency: Very


BIO
Another former player, Jennifer retired at 30 and became a referee after a career that saw her jump between many teams. She's played for FC Maris Ladies, the Maris Black Knights, Castle Ladies, the Janford Roses, the Black Knights once again, Maris Rovers, and then Skybrough Ladies and finally Castle United Women. During her time as an undersized striker, she showed flashes of brilliance often but never played consistently. She's found more consistency as a referee, and she has a very good feel for the game after playing with and against some of the best clubs in Redvale. Because of her small stature however, she overcompensates when acting strict, to try to keep the respect of the players.

Just a heads up, we have a new referee thread here. That thread has a link to this one so there's no need to repost there, but this thread doesn't have a link to that one and the OP here is inactive and can't edit it in, so we'd probably be better off using that one. Or we could use this one, but we should at least link to the other one. Which is what I just did.

Oh, that's a thing that happened while I was away, I missed that. Looking at it though, it was a bit prescriptive in how things should be done, and seems dependent on updates to the OP. Personally I prefer the option for people to post in any way they want to. It also doesn't make sense to run two threads at the same time.

Felix can ask in moderation, though he'd probably have to ask with that account, not Gadirya. This thread's OP is inactive so that might complicate things.

Well....who knows how in the world did this guy get WCC accreditation. For game flow he has sacrificed a lot of things, including calling whistle when needed and carding guys for tackling them with resulting injuries. He's already kicked out of reffing in Q-League level already, so it is quite.... impressive of this dude to get WCC accreditation. Oh well, who knows...he might do better on bigger waters instead.

Age:		43
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Laid-back

Residence: Gotham, Terra Henrius (Yeah, that hell-ish penal colony)
Supporter: Gotham City

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Flash is a closest comparable
Game Flow: Doesn't care about whistle unless somebody dies
Rule Book: It's there to help you, not to dictate you
Yellow Card: Uh....maybe if you run over the guy multiple times?
Red Card: What is that?
Communication: Inconsistent; always high on something or way too irritating
Integrity: I have enough money. No bribes bro
Consistency: Very consistent


Jean-Christophe Ryu


This man by the name of JCR, a 72-year old ex-professor, is not your typical ref. He is best described as a 'professor', even though some have described him as too friendly towards the book. Nobody in Quebec believes in this guy's age nor the body frame as a reason to underestimate him : Jean-Christophe is the scariest "professor" you could find on any football venue in this universe....and that's saying quite a lot given Q-League's infamy for being a both flashy, explosive and deadly physical league. He terrorises both men and women playing this code with his marvellous eyesight, by-book calls and absolute + constant use of whistles (as necessary), and holds absolute authority over it. Also a football historian on his spare time, like when not doing his research work or tending his 3 children, Ryu spends time watching tapes and remembering the slightest of details (#PhotographicMemory) so it's not like doing this on nothing either. So if you detect some sort of aura with this guy, whether as player or fan (he's body slammed a streaking fan in mid-pitch in past, breaking multiple bones of that streaker in process) or manager, you better not piss him off.

Age:		72
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Professor

Residence: Quebec City
Supporter: CSKA Quebec

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Strolls to the ball. He has +30.0 sight on both eyeballs, so seeing things from far is still not a problem anyway.
Game Flow: Whistles exist for a reason.....and that's when you need to blow it
Rule Book: They're there for a reason.
Yellow Card: If needed, yes
Red Card: If there's need for it...like Leonardo Conavacio biting someone. Case by case though
Communication: His screams can exceed 120 Decibels if he wished to
Integrity: Absolute
Consistency: Perfect

North Eurasia (My own region where I store all my nations) would like to send 2 referrees to the Baptism of Fire and World Cup 77.

Zuzanna Krzeszewska

Age: 29
Gender: Female
PAEIPS:* Athletic

Residence: Miedzyzdroje, Prusy Krolewskie
Supporter: Pogon Miedzyzdroje

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Always jogging, she never stops
Game Flow: Uses her whistle only when she needs it
Rule Book: Follows the book
Yellow Card: Don't hesitate to hand them out, she's kinda strict.
Red Card: Don't hesitate to hand them out, she's kinda strict.
Communication: Always talking to the players, she can encourage them, congrats them when they score a goal (like she says "nice goal").
When a player don't understand why he comitted a foul, she explains him/her. She's very nice and good looking.
Integrity: You can't corrupt her. A lot of male players likes her but she never accept an invitation before/after the game.
Consistency: Very consistent


Zuzanna Krzeszewska has 3 years of experience in domestic leagues and none internationally. She quickly became one of the best referree in Prusy Krolewskie and recently got her WCC accreditation. She's strict but she don't whistle for nothing. She's very consistent and impartial. She used to play football in Pogon Miedzyzdroje's youth system but she retired at 22 to start a career in refereeing.

Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig

Age: 67
Gender: Male
PAEIPS:* Unpredictable (secondary trait: Showman)

Residence: Kinlocharkaig, Great Caledonia and North Hybernia
Supporter: Heart of Kinross F.C.

Refereeing Qualities
Box-To-Box: Always on the run, but isn't fast and can get out of breath late in the game
Game Flow: Rarely uses his wristle
Rule Book: It depends of his mood. Sometimes rules are sacred but some other times he let players play.
Yellow Card: If he don't like your team, he don't hesitate to give yellow cards.
Red Card: Same
Communication: Don't communicate much. Sometimes you don't know why he gave you a card or why he whistled for a foul.
Integrity: You can't corrupt him if he don't like your team. If he likes your team, it's not nessessary cuz he'll favor your team anyway.
Consistency: Unconsistent


Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig (or Walter MacClintock but he preffer to be called Bhaltair Mac'Ill'Fhionndaig) is a pioneer in Caledonian football. He has 46 years of experience in refereeing and is highly repected in Great Caledonia despite his unconsistency. He tend to favor a team, but you never know which one. He's unpredictable, so he can whistle for a foul, but later in the game, someone commit the same foul and he can let the game going. He doesn't communicate much and is a little deaf so he won't hear your players complaints. Because Great Caledonia and North Hybernia is participating in the Baptism of Fire, it's preferrable he don't referee in the BoF or if he does, it must be a game in Mercedini's side because Great Caledonia and North Hybernia is in Bonesea's side.
