The judges are responsible for producing the results. Referees are responsible running the race; starting the riders, watching for rule infractions, resolving disputes, etc. The responsibilities of the various officials positions are delineated in the OBRA racing rules.

I don't really know the difference between referee and judge. Sounds
the same to me.

Which one needs more numbers?
