referees have disappeared from matches

For the past two days I have noticed that referees do not show in matches. I see that there is a referee endpoint but it just shows their stats but are not part of events anymore

Resolution: duplicated

Hi WillG25,

Thanks for flagging this. You're right — the referee field should be part of the event response in GET /api/events/{id}/ or GET /api/events/. It returns the referee object with name, yellowCards, and redCards (null only when unavailable for a specific match).

The separate /api/referees/ endpoint is just aggregated career stats across all referees — that's separate from the per-match referee data.

If referees have stopped appearing in your event responses over the last two days, that's definitely something we need to look at. It could be a data sync issue or something else on our end.

I'm escalating this to the team — we'll reply as soon as someone looks at it.
