And my point is that it makes every effort possible to match the best officials with the top games regardless of how many games they have reffed previously. If this was soccer the four QF refs are pretty much eliminated from any chance of reffing further.
What makes you think that they are not picking refs on quality?

Did you watch the Canada v Italy game. The ref was shocking as the the ARs.
I will go further and say the complete set up is a mess, from Refs, TMO, and citing.
I can't find a reference, but I seem to recall and interview or piece that said only refs from top nations are considered.
