Common questions

Do WNBA referees really affect the score?

The numbers on this page are real averages from logged games, shown next to the league average so you can see the gap. Some of the gap is the referee, some is the games they happen to get. Treat it as one more thing to check — not a system on its own.

Where does this data come from?

Official game records: final scores, results and venues for every logged game each referee worked. We only publish a full page for referees with enough games to be meaningful.

How do bettors use referee stats?

Mostly for totals. If a referee's games run clearly above or below the league average, that's worth knowing before you take an over or under. Check the number, then check the price.
