Who controlled the game, and was it even.

Every penalty in the league's own play-by-play, the score when it was called, and the officials the league lists for each game: which referees call more or less, whose games end up one-sided, who evens calls up, and which clubs get the whistle. Missed calls are not in any feed; they come from reviewers flagging games.

Ranked by distance from league norms

How far each referee's games sit from the league on four things: calls on the home side, one-sided games, calls evened up, and calls on the leading club. Lower is closer to the league. It describes the games he worked (with his partner), not intent; the parts are shown so the reason is visible. The call rate is shown for context, not scored.

Missed and bad calls from reviewers

Flagged on the live flagging and replay review pages: a penalty that was not called, or a call that should not have been made. Empty until games are reviewed.

No games reviewed yet.

How this is measured

Every penalty in the league's play-by-play, with the club penalised and the score at that moment, and the officials the league lists for each game. Coincidental calls (one on each side at the same second) are left out. A game is one-sided when one club is called three or more times more than the other. Alternation is how often the next call goes the other way after a call; well above half suggests calls being evened up. Calls against the leading club are compared with calls against the trailing one. Two referees work every game and the feed does not say who made each call, so a referee's numbers are the games he worked, not his own whistles. Referees with fewer than ten games are not rated. The ranking is a neutrality distance: how far a referee's games sit from the league on home lean, one-sided games, evening up and leaning on the leading club, each shrunk toward the league by games worked; lower is more neutral. Missed calls and calls that should not have been made are not in any feed; they come from reviewers flagging games by eye, and are counted against the crew that worked the game. Penalty type and length are not in the stored events, so a double minor counts as one call.
