Like in competitive sports the refs are usually asked to fill out a simple sheet with: Score tally, time remaining, winner, and these sheets are handed to the tourney manager so that maintenance of the tourney is easy and there's no real interpretive element.

just my unsolicited 2c

its just beyond fucked at this point
its going to be best just to get it overwith the long, hard way first before worrying about anything else
