Referees as VAR officials.
Every official, in the VAR seat all-time
Ordered by errors per match, not ranked —
officials near the top are not separable from each other. Why we don't crown one →
| # | Official | Matches as VAR | Clear errorsThe VAR wrongly overruled a correct on-field call — fully the VAR's mistake. | Missed rescuesAn on-field error the VAR should have caught and didn't. It sits mostly, not wholly, on the VAR: the on-field referee made the original error. | Error rate per match | Errors per matchClear errors weight 1.0, missed rescues 0.75 — a missed rescue sits mostly, not wholly, on the VAR because the on-field referee made the original error. Lower is better. On-field-only errors are not counted here; they aren't the VAR's fault. |

Scores are lower bounds — % of errors have a named appointment. Published season totals run three higher across the three seasons: they also count monitor reviews the referee declined, which are the referee's error, not the VAR's. How we name an official →
