Duties and responsibilities of badminton officials

Badminton officials play a very important role in the badminton matches. Even though they are not as
crucial as they can be in other sports such as football or basketball due to the lack of physical contact
between players, they still are required in order to ensure a smooth and fair match. The badminton officials
are divided into different roles or positions:

 Referee

Week 3: Physical Education III
 Role of the referee
The referee is the most important official of the whole tournament. He or she is in charge of the competition
and needs to ensure that the tournament is conducted following the Laws of Badminton (including court,
rackets and shuttlecock measurements), the regulations of the Badminton World Federation and/or any
other regulations that might be relevant in that specific competition

Role of the Umpire

The umpire is the maximum authority in a particular match and it is in charge of the court. The duty of the
umpire is to make sure that the specific match is conducted following the Laws of Badminton, the
regulations of the Badminton World Federation and/or any other regulations that might be relevant in that
specific competition.

Role of the Service Judge

The service judge is responsible for making a ‘service fault’ call and to provide shuttles to the players. Due to
the way badminton is played, the serve is one of the most important and perfected shots of the player and,
especially when playing doubles, players will bring the serve to the limit of the legality in order to gain as
much advantage as possible.

In addition to checking the service, the service judge usually takes care of the shuttles, providing the players
with new shuttles whenever required.

In smaller championships, when there is no service judge, the umpire takes the role of the service judge.

Role of the Line Judge

The line judges are responsible for indicating whether a shuttlecock landed “in” or “out” if the shuttle lands
near the lines he/she is assigned to control. Due to the fast speed of the game and the skill of the players,
this is a very challenging job and, as a result, the line judges are the officials that usually get more pressure
from the players.
