User blog comment:Zolnir/Flaw in Tournament Setup/@comment-27989701-20160317105013

Huntsmen are supposed to be Heroes, " carry themselves with honor", and be "the greatest and most noble warriors in the world" and are supposed to be appear like that and for 39 Tournaments it seemed to work without a referee just fine.

So there simply was no need for a referee, having one would even lessen the Tournament as you only need a referee if you expect people will break the rules.

Having no referee therefore symbolizes that the Huntsmen are the heroes, the most noble warriors in the world because even without a referee they would never break the rules.
