benp - you don't know the history of PW and the center ref you call "Eric". In the not too distant past he was blackballed from reffing at PW.
All regions in the state have the same problem of not having enough certified refs. Though it shouldn't be a problem with only a handful of playoff games, the ref assigned to center the game did not show up (so I heard, I don't have first hand knowledge of that). Thankfully "Eric" was available and the game did not have to be played with two refs.
