Rule 22

Historical rulebook: not the current rules. The current rules are here (USHA Four-Wall Rulebook, as of 26 January 2025).

It is the duty of the referee to decide all hinders and covered balls without being appealed to by the players, since most players dislike to make claims, especially in close cases. The referee is not relieved of the duty of rendering a decision by the failure of a player to claim a hinder or a covered ball.
