self-officiated
Athletes enforce rules
Self-officiated describes a ceremony or event conducted without a formal officiant—particularly a wedding where the couple marries themselves rather than having a judge, clergy member, or other authority preside: They had a self-officiated ceremony on the beach.
The practice is legal in some jurisdictions but not others.
In sports, self-officiated games proceed without referees, with players calling their own fouls.
