Tournament Officials Announced...sadly.

Anyone not the least bit surprised by this?

As per usual, it's 90% the same old referee cohort, seemingly compounded by there only being two D1 playoffs in North America this year. Once champs are included, you are sure to have multiple people featuring in 3/5 tournaments.

Interestingly the Europeans seem to have doubled down and really fucked themselves over - those ref crews are abysmal. Some extremely conspicuous inclusions/omissions. They might have actually gone one step too far in the old nepotism department this time. Gotham/Denver/London are going to shred those crews.
