When the question arises

The material is needed by players without a referee who are responsible for the calls of the lines themselves and must give the opponent the advantage of the doubt

Как принять решение

Следите за точкой контакта мяча с покрытием, а не за его полётом. Аут объявляется быстро и уверенно на своей стороне. Если никто не видел чистого пространства между мячом и линией, сомнение решается в пользу соперника.

First, reconstruct the observed facts: the players' position, the bounce, the score announced and the moment the draw ends. Then apply the rule. In an argument, habit and confident tone do not replace facts

Start with three checkswait for the actual rebound; look out; lay out.

What to Check in the Episode

  • wait for the actual rebound
  • look out
  • lay out
  • Do not change the call after the partner’s reaction or the account
  • Keep in mind the kitchen line on the pitch

How to make sure the rule is understood

Understanding is not tested by retelling a definition, but by the same decision in two or three similar episodes, where the player must name a rule and immediately show the correct action on the court

Where the error occurs

The player announces an outward trajectory before the bounce, or focuses on where the ball ended up after the slip, or makes a late call after the draw continues, which destroys trust and creates an advantage retroactively

When you need a primary source

An official tournament can specify the score system, the appeal procedure and the role of the referee, and use the current rulebook and published rules to determine the outcome of the competition, rather than the club arrangement

Как закрепить на корте

На тренировке положите мячи рядом с линией и сравните вид сверху и с игровой позиции. Затем отработайте быстрый словесный вызов без долгого обсуждения.

What to remember

If the episode cannot be restored, do not come up with a confident solution in retrospect. In a training game, disassemble the situation after the draw; in a tournament, follow the procedure specified by the organizer

Frequent questions

Is the ball on the sideline counting in the court

The usual line is within the court's boundaries

Is the kitchen line serving good

No, the line is in the kitchen, so it's a wrong serve

What to do if you are not sure about the out

Give the advantage of doubt to the opponent and continue according to the rules
