FED does not: The game officials must be a referee and an umpire or a referee and two umpires who shall be assisted by an official timer and scorer.
That whole "who shall be assisted by..." is either poor wording or makes them not game officials.
None of that affects anything I do on a nightly basis. So, it's probably just semantics, depending, of course, on what you mean by semantics.  |
The distinction for NFHS is that they are not "game" officials, but "table" officials.....still officials, just not game officials.
