The referee’s role on the platform
The referee runs the match on the pitch. Events — goals, cards and substitutions — are recorded by the competition organisers (whoever created it, the managers they appointed, or the Gollero team), based on what the referee calls. Nobody playing for one of the teams records their own match.
In a competition without managers, the owner of one of the teams can record the match, but the result only counts once the owner of the other team confirms it.
At the end of the match, the match sheet is closed with the score and the recorded events. That sheet feeds the log and the player stats. Correcting a closed match requires a reason, which stays on the sheet, and both teams are notified.
There are no referee accounts on the platform yet, and no appointments per match: each competition’s organisers choose the referee, outside Gollero.
