Why 25% of people abandon the last match?

There is a big question surrounding our EIS LOVERS Tournament of late.

Why do mostly half of the 1st Pair abandon refereeing for the 2nd Half of the 2nd Pair?

Currently our tournament format is

1st 20 min = 1st Half Pair 1
2nd 20 min = 1st Half Pair 2
3rd 20 min = 2nd Half Pair 1
4th 20 min = 2nd Half Pair 2 <---- Half of the players in Pair 1 hit straight home after they finish their match leaving 2nd Half Pair 2 with lack of referee support.

Every season, there is a problem but this season, it seems for most matches played in the 2nd Pair does not get it's fair share of refereeing.

An average of around 5 people of the 1st pair will go straight home after they finish the match
Leaving most of the 2nd Pair feeling uneasy or annoyed that they have received an unequal treatment in the refereeing standard.


Question arises about why these types of behavior happen?
Where has all the unity amongst us gone?

For me, I'm also kind of a culprit going home early probably 3 of the 7 weeks this season. Last week I kind of feel guilty having to go home early with only 4 people left behind refereeing. If my actions due annoy someone or change the outcome of any game, I'm truly sorry. It's a bit kind of early family problem stuffs, which I guess is finally sorted out from last week bust-up.

While for SUNDAE team, latest news is MIKE has finally got himself a daughter born sometime last week. He'll probably be missing from court due to his daughter's 2-month early birth and we will not know when exactly will he be back. He sends regards to all and hope the team will do well in his absence.

So I'm not sure what are all our other folks' reasons to hit home early but...For once, it happened this season when on the last half for every match, there remains only a few people to referee.
If you feel guilty like you're one of them who have given your friends unequality (like me included) It's never too late. And as a community, buckle up, give what everyone deserves,
a good quality of refereeing no matter if it's the first or second match.
