There is little to encourage someone to ref a large battle. (e.g. 10v10, one at a time) The rewards are given for the number of battles you ref, and disregard the length of them. And yet, people seem to like longer battles. In addition, if, say, a 3v3 battle ends just after the 1st pokemon faints, the ref gets nothing, even though the winner earns 2 points.

While it is not the only solution, would it be possible to use the same system as the safari zone: 5 ref posts gives you 2 points? And to address the rewards issue, 10 ref posts counts as a battle under the current system. (So a rookie ref requires 60 posts to get the rewards)

Actually the ref gets as many points at the winner, unless half the pokemon have fainted (In the case of a 3v3 1 pokemon would have to be fainted and the seoncd one on 55% or less) then they just can't use it as a reffing reward match.

If you put it like that then refs who ref one on ones are actually losing points since it takes the average pokemon 5 rounds to be knocked out. But then again it is up to the ref which fights they choose to ref, so if they want to undertake a big reffing then its their choice.
