not, a Referee shall take cognisance of any breach of Rule that he
may observe or which may be reported to him by any person or
persons appointed by himself to assist him. A Referee shall also
decide questions of fact after consultation (if necessary) with
anyone so appointed.
A "Marker" is a scorer and is not a Referee.
