How This Democracy Works
Every week, we let the people decide who provided the most... memorable officiating experience
The Voting
Every Monday, we open voting for referees who had... let's call them "standout" performances from the previous week. Democracy in action!
The Crown
The referee with the most votes wins our weekly "Most Memorable" award. It's an honor they probably don't want, but definitely earned.
The Trends
We track voting trends, repeat winners, and seasonal patterns. Some referees are consistent overachievers in the chaos department.
