refereeing

Refereeing is the process of officiating a sports game by enforcing the rules, making judgment calls on plays, and ensuring fair conduct among players. The referee watches the game carefully, makes decisions about fouls, penalties, and game flow, and maintains order on the field or court. Their role is vital for fairness and safety, often involving quick judgment and clear communication. Referees must stay impartial, follow the sport’s regulations, and adapt to dynamic situations, ensuring the game is played correctly and responsibly.
