    Looks like the CSL has continuing with their use of foreign referees for "big" games. Clattenburg was hired as a full time ref, so he had a center and the only other foreign center was Mazic from Serbia. All of the ARs and 4ths were Chinese.

    This came up in the UEFA thread. Mazic is a full-time referee there now. CSL also hired three Chinese officials as full-time.

    Mazic had a very tough go of it in his first match.

    It's also unclear as to whether or not his UEFA season is over. He may still have a (final?) match next week given the Serbian FA allegedly received confirmation of an appointment before he took the role in China.

    It will be interesting to see how soon the league/country in which a referee works is separated from his nationality as far as international assignments - similar to players. With leagues (meaning $$) pulling top referees, I think there will soon be pressure to allow top refs to work leagues in other countries yet still maintain eligibility for international soccer.

    In some ways, might this be a boon for FIFA referees from lower-level soccer countries having the ability to apply to and work in higher-level soccer countries?

    Week 11 (May 26): AHMS (AUS) for Shandong Luneng vs Guangzhou R&F and CONGER (NZL) for the biggest match of the season so far between Shanghai SIPG and Beijing Guoan (this was the match where Conger "took out" a player who ran into him and his teammate motioned for Conger to get a card)

    It is actually not the CFA Cup final (I couldn't edit my post any more), but a huge game between the top 2 teams in the table that are separated by 1 point with 3 games remaining (Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG).
