# Four-wall · Rule 3.4 Referee · F. Other rulings

The referee shall rule on all matters not covered in the USHA Official Rules. However, the referee may be overruled by the chief of referees or tournament director, the latter of whom shall have final authority.

3.5 Players.

A. Player Code. The USHA rules of handball place a presumptive code of integrity and honesty on each player. It is expected that players will always self-enforce violations not detectable by a referee. Such instances would include, but are not limited to, double bounces, wrist balls, and to fairly represent injuries in the application of Rule 4.10.C. This presumptive Code is also applicable to abiding by the Spirit of Handball and the Code of Conduct as found in the appendix. This would include showing up at appointed times for matches, and abiding by the Rules of Handball.
