	Our referees will be wearing basic costume and a gold and black quartered livery coat like the one pictured. On occasions where we need to put a large number of referees in the field at once then some refs may wear a gold and black quartered tabard instead. Anyone who is wearing a livery coat with this design should be treated as a referee. For this reason players are not allowed to wear this design of livery coat.

			The easiest way to find a referee is to go to one of the three ref stations located around the site. There will be a referee on duty at each of these locations throughout time-in under normal circumstances. The three ref stations are:

			* The [[#GOD\|GOD tent]] - this is the games operation desk, the central tent where you collected your pack at the start of the event
			* The [[regio]] - this is the location where rituals are performed, marked with standing pillars near the Hall of Worlds
			* The [[Anvil#The_Hub\|Hub]] - this is a large tent near the centre of the site where the civil service are based

			If you can see a crew member with a radio who is not busy, then you can ask them to radio the ref desk to request a referee. If we have can then we will dispatch the nearest available referee to your current location if we can identify it.

			We '''do not recommend''' wandering Anvil looking for a passing referee. You are unlikely to find one this way, and any referee you come across is likely to be busy helping another participant already.
