A Pattern describes the number and types of officials needed for a specific game. Each pattern has:
- one or more positions, and
- a name that describes the pattern
Each game is assigned a pattern. As an example, a typical soccer game has three officials: one referee and two assistant referees. A pattern that describes this scenario looks like:
- Name: Three Officials
- Position: Referee
- Position: Assistant Referee
- Position: Assistant Referee
