I would suggest that instead of getting more refs, getting a competent timekeeper is more important then.
I can't help thinking that this is way out of proportion. Admittedly I have not chief reffed at a Worlds, but have at club and tournament competitions. Piece of cake I thought... and I know the list of things that need to be taken care of, but... ahhh... piece of cake...
