Ronald Torbert to serve as lead referee for Super Bowl LVI

The lead referee for the Super Bowl will be Ronald Torbert.

A side judge and referee in the National Football League, Torbert was promoted to a referee in the same year. He has been the referee for six playoff games since then, including two in the wild-card round and four in the divisional, most recently the San Francisco 49ers 13-10 victory Saturday over the Green Bay Packers.

The assignments for the Super Bowl are based on merit.

The regular-season crew averaged 12.3 flags per game, the fourth-lowest in the league, but they will work in the Super Bowl with a different group of officials.

There are seven previous Super Bowls between the group.

Bryan Neale is the Umpire.

Down judge: Derick Bowers.

The line judge is Carl Johnson.

The field judge is Rick Patterson.

Side judge:Keith Washington.

Scott Helverson was the back judge.

The official was Roddy Ames.
