Officials Duties and Responsibilities

 Function of Technical Officials  The role of Technical Officials (TOs) is

critical for the sport, especially at the
international level. Officiating officials will
get specialist materials supplied to them
for all competitive matches.

 Badminton Referee Responsibilities

 Match referees should ensure the
practice schedules, facilities, playing
conditions, and players' equipment meet
the standards set out by the health and
safety rules and official laws of the game.
All referees will have attained significant
badminton qualifications in order to
officiate the games. But, it is a
tournament referee who establishes an
appropriate panel of technical officials
(where required).

 Badminton Umpire Responsibilities  There are many responsibilities of an

umpire in badminton. But, umpires have
one main focus. That is the close
monitoring and governance of all
sporting activities on the court. Match
umpires should apply, authorize, and
regulate the laws of the game. They will
supervise the service judge and line
judges (further details below).
 Umpire's Authority

 Umpire Duties and Decisions
 Umpire roles and responsibilities apply to
the match being played on the court they
are officiating. Thus, they should enforce
all badminton rules and regulations on
their particular court. Furthermore, these
rulings apply to calls and umpire hand
signals relating to 'LETS', game faults, and
to service faults. Umpiring responsibilities
provide them with full authority in the
application of any lawful sanctions during
the particular match which they oversee.
and then reports all incidents of player
misconduct. In most cases, badminton
umpire hand signals will be directed to
the players while seated on a high chair.
Umpires in badminton must enforce all
game laws and court rules (e.g. net
height and markings). A badminton
umpire calls decisions on service faults,
lets, and any other player faults.
Throughout the game, the umpire must
announce the match score to the players
and to any watching audience.
 In fact, they have two important roles:
 Role of the Service Judge

 Calling service faults.

 Keeping hold of, and handing out,
shuttles.

It would not be uncommon for the umpire to

delegate some of their own duties to a service
judge. Typical examples include:

 Checking shuttle speeds and the height of

the net.
 Making sure the position of the poles is
correct and they are secure.

Even so, the chief role for a service judge is

watching over the server and checking whether
serves they make are legal.

The service judge will sit on a low chair, located

at the middle of the court (directly opposite the
umpire). But, the role of the service judge would
go to the umpire if no service judge has been
appointed.

 The role in the game is such that a line

judge must decide and announce - by
verbal call and hand signals for
badminton - whether the shuttle has
landed inside or outside of the boundary
lines.
  Players can appeal decisions made by

service or line judges. If it happens, the
umpire should provide a ruling on any
protested calls. The outcome of a player
appeal is likely to result in the judge
either upholding or overturning the
original call. Umpires in badminton
should consult the tournament referee if
they are unsure how to rule any
particular appeal. All player appeals
should reach an amiable result before the
match resumes at the next serve.
