Once again I rated the referees for each match the Seattle Sounders played, attempting to rate them based on an “MLS Average.” This is a very difficult proposition with the variance in referees over the years, but I tried to follow the same methodology as I do with the players. There is a huge lack of sample size here (most appearances by the same referee was only three) but as we have gone through the years, we can get at least an idea of who is very bad or stands out as particularly competent. I have tried to parse out the most interesting data that illustrates a bit more of the differences in the referees.
