There were several referees, the most crucial one being the one who moved alongside the shooter, penalizing any foul play with either time penalties or direct disqualification.
The referees weren't appointed by Arilan Moson Studio, nor by Gunfire Studio, but were selected by the IDPA themselves. Besides the two referees moving with the contestants, there were several others present. Based on the data provided by the mobile referees, they would announce the winner.
For such a major event, it was necessary to appoint several referees to avoid any disputes over the results, and now, the significance of the referees was becoming apparent.
After the president of the Rifle Association announced the winner, no one objected. After a brief silence, the president of the IDPA Association followed up, "I also agree that the winner is Arilan Moson Studio. Additionally, Mr. Gao, right? May I ask if you are a member of the IDPA Association?"
