Guess what - everyone drove perfectly for those two rounds.

Now, take the ref away and what happens - I'll let you decide that one....
You've said it all there..! Back in the day, we used to have a chief Marshall doing the same thing..always worked..
IMO it's down to club rules and running the meetings strictly...seems hard at first but is appreciated after time..
The "referee on the rostrum" used to be a BRCA requirement at Nationals..does that still apply.?
