At the moment.
But even if they just flash the symbol with their name on, it would be better.

Is it necessary to have a mic? No. It's not a requirement. Although I still find a formed party a simple and convenient way for the captains in the looby to request a pause when needed. It will aware the other captains in the lobby that a pause will take place, which will reduce the risks of a team engaging during a pause, but also save time since you'll hear the request instantly instead of scanning the chat (if it occurs that it's filled with spam, etc.)
What about captains with no mics if so? Well they can still call a pause through lobby chat. This suggestion above, is alternative.

If so, then what's wrong using other communication softwares if you don't want interference? Such as Mumble, Ts3, Skype, ect. Keep the organisers and referees out of the party formation, and hold them in another group.
Just a thought.
Skrimskraw:
the reason why your dream of realizing referees in party chat with captains will never work is simple:
referees do other things while the matches are running.
They sometimes tab out, they sometimes chat with other people, they watch things on their other screen, listen to the commentary or music etc.
You cant honestly expect a referee to be focused constantly for 2-4 hours during the event.
There are already enough for a ref to keep focus on, gameplay, lobbies, password, invites, time, loadouts etc. etc.
adding to that list will lead to more confusion, especially when someone talks to you while you are reffing.
The referee party chat is used to talk about scores, lobbies etc.
and tbh, if the ref isnt responding to chat, then he probaly left his pc for a min to do something, so talking wont help ;)
I know its tough luck, but referees are just players who spend their valuable time helping to run the event. They arent professionals paid to do all sorts of things, and more than often referees are new and pulled in 5 mins before the event.

Sorry, can you explain how a referee clicking twice to join an in-game party stops them from doing any of that?
wait a minute, if a referee is alt tabbed but in an in-game party they can hear a captain call for a pause in voice chat! It's a miracle.
wait a minute, doesn't it take less effort to press one button on your keyboard and say "pause" that it does to type it out?! It's a miracle.
The problem is not the referee responding, but the crews noticing the referee call for a pause.
Sarcasm aside, what am I missing here?

effort vs payout
