Referee Douglas Crosby, who has gained notoriety for issuing controversial decisions, said that referees can make mistakes because there is very little time given to counting results between the rounds.

You have to assign a numerical value to what you just saw in an average of 15 seconds. Five seconds of that time goes into the notes, and you're left with 10 seconds to decide who took the round.
