How about when Dynamo Moscow plays Yaroslavl, would an official from Moscow be allowed to work in that game?

KHL ref department decides who will be ref at the game. Nationality, residence has not value, only quality of a ref. Btw, KHL wants to hire euro refs, few of them works at WHC now in FIN/SWE, you can find out their names very easy.

Sounds reasonable, they use the best refs available. Thanks
