G19. REFEREE'S GUIDELINES Addressing the players: Officials should use the player's surname/family name *, rather than the given name, when addressing players. This eliminates any appearance of familiarity that players or spectators could interpret as favouritism. Explanations:
Following an appeal by a player, the Referee normally
gives the decision and play resumes. However, on some
occasions, it may be appropriate to explain the decision
to the players. In those cases the Referee may give a
concise explanation following the decision. It is helpful
to the players if the Referee uses the terminology of the
appropriate rule when explaining a decision. |

| * This is an unnecessary Rule that only
really matters in the top tournaments. If you are
refereeing two players who you know well and have no bias
towards them, then this Rule is the safest one to ignore
! As a good referee, even when you know the players well,
you will be able to officiate without bias - and WSF
should not need to put this into the Rules. |
