Are all playoff games 4 men crew?
If so, what is the purpose of the 4th referee?

That's a kinda boring job Toughest game I ever had was as a 4th Pasttime, that's because it requires communication skills and a personality.  Only time I've ever been suspended as an official, I was the 4th. |

4th official is actually very challenging, especially if you have coaches that are a handful. The 4th can make or break a game. Their hardest part is getting the coaches to talk to them instead of screaming at an official. Good ones make it look easy. Bad ones make the game turn to crap. As a fan you may not now there is a good one. But you will always know when there is a bad one.

Not so much for the 4th official in the next round in Dallas. I’m still wondering how one of my players received cleat marks on the inside of his thigh right in front of the center but he was “putting himself in that situation” Me and the 4th were friends the entire second half. |
