20. DUTIES OF A REFEREE (see Guideline 19) 20.1 The Referee shall decide on all appeals, make decisions where the Rules call for them, and shall decide all appeals against the Marker's calls or lack of calls. The decision of the Referee shall be final. The Referee must announce all decisions to the players on the court and must make all calls in a voice loud enough to be heard on the court and by the audience *. * "in the gallery" in the original WSF Rules is a typically old-fashioned term - most modern centres do not have galleries, but have glass-backed courts with or without seating. |
|
20.2 The Referee shall exercise control: 20.2.1 when one of the
players appeals, including an appeal against any
specification. 20.2.3 when the behaviour of any spectator, official, manager or coach is disruptive to the play or offensive to the players, officials or spectators. The Referee shall suspend play until the disruption has stopped and if necessary shall require the offending person(s) to leave the court area. |
||
20.3 The Referee shall not intervene in the Marker's calling of the score unless the Referee decides that the Marker has called the score incorrectly. In that case the Referee shall correct the score and the Marker shall repeat the corrected score. |
||
20.4 The Referee shall not intervene in the
Marker's calling of the play unless the Referee decides
that the Marker has made an error in stopping play or
allowing play to continue, in which case the Referee
shall immediately decide accordingly. |
||
20.5
The Referee shall enforce all Rules relating to time.
|
||
| 20.6
The Referee shall keep a written record of the score and
the correct side for service. The Referee should
also record all decisions and times (total match time,
each game time, and time of each delay). See scoring for typical recording systems. |
||
20.7 The Referee is responsible for ensuring
that court conditions are satisfactory for play. |
||
20.9 The Referee may award a match to a player whose opponent is not present on court, ready to play, within ten minutes after the announced time of play.
