		Since this is still an amateur sport with very little sponsoring, every team is required to send Referees, Umpires, Line and Back Judges and Commissioners to a certain number of games (though naturally, a game in which they, or their teams, are not playing); these games are also determined before the season commences.
		For example, if three teams each have 5 wins, the first place team will be the one with perfect attendance, the second place team will be the one with an official who was late to a game, and the third place team will be the one which has a referee who missed a game.
