Refs

I've ran a few cards so far, but I was just wondering since I haven't seen it yet if Referees when they get knocked out, can they ever be out of the match completly?  What happens with the other Refs that come to the ring?  Do they stay by ringside just incase or do they go back?  And if they do stay at ringside can they cause like a Double DQ or Double Pin or anything like that?  

Also do all Heel Referees act in bias towards Faces?  I had about 1/2 Faces, 1/2 Heel Refs, but I found that most matches that the Heels referees in were not fare at all.  Can the same be said about the face refs against the Heel wrestlers?  Will they do slow counts and stuff on them for no reason?

It would be unrealistic to have referees out of the match completely. At times, they don't be back for the finish, though.

As in real life, the face refs call things down the middle.

Well, let's put it this way. Last week in the e-fed I am in, the original ref was knocked out when I countered one of my opponent's moves. A second ref came and counted the pin I made a couple of minutes later in the match. I think that when the original wakes up, the replacement heads back to the back. I might be wrong on that though. We'd have to knock out the original more than once to make sure. :)

I'm not sure if it matters either way. In the same match, I countered one of my opponent's moves with a lifting chokehold, and Earl Hebner of all people got in my face and cursed at me! No, I'm not kidding, lol. So maybe it's just if you get under their skin.
