G8. METHOD OF APPEAL

The correct method of appeal when interference has occurred or Rule 13 instances (lets) have occurred is to say "Let please" and for other occurrences under Rule 11 is to say "Appeal please" *.

Players sometimes use other forms of appeal including a raised hand or racket, especially when communication between players and Referee is difficult. A Referee accepting any form of appeal other than the standard "Let please" or "Appeal please" must be satisfied that the player is actually making an appeal.

* Note that very few players even consider using the words 'Appeal please'. It is almost universal for player to use the words "Let please', even when they are expecting the award of a stroke or they are appealing against the call of the Marker.
