To play in the main game is a reward and an honour for the teams. In the same way to referee the main game is a reward and an honour for the referee.

At the end of the Craven Week the referees will be ranked.

In the appointments below, the assistant referees are named in order. The first one would take over from the referee should the referee be unable to continue. The third and fourth assistant control the coming and going of players during the match.

The main match will be televised and so there is a television match official, as there has been for each match on each of the first four days.
