19. DUTIES OF A MARKER 19.1 The Marker shall call the play *, followed by the score, with the server's score called first. The Marker shall call services and returns which are not good using the recognised calls of "Fault", "Foot-fault", "Not up", "Down", "Out", "Hand-out" and "Stop" (see Appendix 3.1) as appropriate, and shall repeat the Referee's decisions (see Guideline 18). * "call the play" is an unusual expression - it means that the Marker is the person who shouts (makes a call) if a player's shot is judged to be incorrect in any way. |
|
| 19.2 At the end of the rally, the Marker
shall call the score without delay, but only
after the Referee has decided any appeals. |
||
19.3 If the Marker makes a call, the rally shall stop. See Rules 11 and 20.4 for the Referee's action if the Marker does not make a call in situations when a shot is not good. 19.4 The Marker, if unsighted or uncertain, shall make no call. |
||
19.5 If play stops without the Marker having made a call, the Marker, if unsighted or uncertain, shall advise the players and the Referee shall make the relevant decision. If the Referee is also uncertain, the Referee shall allow a let. |
||
19.6 The Marker shall keep a written record
of the score and the correct side for service. The
Marker should also record all decisions and times (total
match time, each game time, and time of each delay). See scoring for typical recording systems. |
