OFFICIATING OFFICIALS

IN BADMINTON
There are three types of officials in the sport of
Badminton.

▪ Referee
▪ Umpire
▪ Line Judge
REFEREE IN BADMINTON

• A referee in badminton acts like a manager who’s job is to


conduct matches in a tournament in a proper manner and
resolve any dispute if a situation arises.
• Other duties of tournament referee are to make a doctor
available if a player gets injured or if the tapping of the court
came off, ensuring that matches and practice schedules in a
tournament are properly set up and many more.
UMPIRE IN BADMINTON

• The umpire has the authority over a particular match and is in


charge of the court and its immediate surrounds. The umpire
ensures the match is conducted in accordance with the Laws of
Badminton, the rules and regulations of the BWF and any other
regulations pertinent to the specific tournament.
LINE JUDGE IN BADMINTON

• There are so many lines in a badminton court and chair umpire


cannot make the decision on all of the shots that is why there
are linemen sitting along the court to see whether a shuttle is IN
or OUT.
• Depending on the level of a tournament, there may be as many
as 10 line judges assigned to a court for a particular match.
HAND SIGNALS USED BY LINEMAN
There are three types of hand signals made by lineman

When the shuttle is IN:- Lineman will make pledge gesture with his hand
When the shuttle is OUT:- He will extend both of his arm making a straight
line from his one hand to another hand.
When he does not know:- when the lineman is not certain if the shuttle was
IN or OUT due to reason like player covered the line etc. He covers his eyes
with both hands.
