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.

Under Rule 3.7 Appeals

C. Number of Appeals. In all one-wall matches, appeals are limited to three unsuccessful (referee’s initial call stands), appeals per player/side per game for the first two games and two unsuccessful appeals per player/side for the tiebreaker. This limitation applies only to those appeals requested by a player/side, and once the unsuccessful limit is reached further requested appeals shall not be granted. All appeals imposed by rule shall not be affected and shall remain unlimited (see Rule 4.7.A.3 and Rule 4.8.F.1 Interpretation No. 19).

Under Rule 4.2 Doubles

B. Partner’s position. In doubles, the server’s partner must stand outside the side lines, astraddle the indicated service line, and may not enter the playing zone until the served ball passes him. A violation is called a “foot fault.”

Under Rule 4.3 Defective Serves

A. Dead-ball serves. A dead-ball serve results in no penalty and the server is given another serve without cancelling a prior defective serve or hinder fault.

B. Hinder serves. A hinder serve call stops play, and the server gets another serve. (See Rule 4.3 C.6)

1) Moving on service. The server or his partner moves out of the way of a legally served ball from the wall, a hinder may be called not voiding any previous faults. This call, like any other hinder, is based on interference affecting the play (See Interpretation No. 5). If there is initial interference, but the receiver still has time to get into good position, a hinder should not be called. He/she should watch the reaction of the receiver. The receiver should be given the benefit of any doubt, as long as he/she is properly positioned (See Rule 4.3C6).
