The referee's game algorithm

Before dealing the cards

1. Name the edition of the rules in use and any local conditions
2. Check the line-up of ten players, the numbers, masks, cards, timer and protocol
3. Clarify the order for accepting nominations, voting, extra speeches and penalties
4. Appoint an assistant to record the votes, if possible

The zero night

1. Announce the start and make sure eyes stay closed
2. Allow the black team to meet and make their agreement strictly under the rulebook
3. Control the time and forbidden actions
4. Bring everyone back to the common night phase without giving away any information

The day round

1. Give the floor in the set order
2. Record nominations right after a correct wording
3. Control the time, speech outside the minute, hints and gestures
4. Do not react to an emotional judgement; react to an observable violation

Voting

1. Name the list of candidates in the order set by the rules
2. Before each candidate, clearly announce the start of vote-taking
3. Record raised hands and breaches of procedure
4. Announce the result, then apply the tie procedure under the rulebook

Night and checks

1. Check that the players have closed their eyes
2. Run the permitted night actions without hints
3. Record the shot and the result of the check confidentially
4. Announce the morning information in exact form

Ending the game

1. Check whether a winning condition has been reached
2. Announce the winning team
3. Reconcile the protocol, the fouls and the game points separately
4. Allow questions after the game without changing decisions arbitrarily
