Under Rule 3.6 Line Judges
Line Judges
There should be a line judge, positioned at the most advantageous views, for each of the side lines, the short line and the long line.
Duties and responsibilities
Line judge duties shall be to call “out” the balls that hit the floor or the wall off the court and to call faults on their respective lines as they occur. The short line judge may call skip balls, backswing hinders and two bounce returns at the discretion of the referee. If a line judge is uncertain, he/she should abstain from making a call. The referee may substitute his/her decision on a call.
Line judges also are designated to help decide appealed calls. In the event of an appeal, and after a very brief explanation of the appeal by the referee, the line judges must indicate their opinions of the referee’s call.
Result of response
The call shall follow the opinion of the majority of participating officials (four line judges and one referee.) If there is no majority, the referee may let the call stand, reverse the call or call for a replay.
