For example, those playing during a 4v4 (or whatever the structure will be) shouldn't be able to ref their own games because they won't be able to dedicate their time entirely to the match and officiating it. Late pause or late catching lagouts can change the outcome in GO.
Instead, organize many volunteer refs, primarily from the league itself as long as a player can create the game and commit the next 30-45 minutes of his time reffing. Learning the commands and following a small set of principles (such as not typing any commands that will alter the fairness of gameplay) is simple and straightforward.
With the ease of moderating a game, reffing can be done without an official staff.
I agree, I would also volunteer to help with reffing.
