representative will select line judges.

13.E.2. Line judges will call all line faults within
their jurisdiction and will signify fault by
loudly calling “out” and giving an accepted
hand signal.

Accepted hand signals are:

13.E.2.a. “Out” ball – outstretched arm
pointing in direction of the
out-of-bounds ball path.

13.E.2.b. “In” ball – arms extended
parallel to court with palms
down.

13.E.2.c. Blocked/blinded – use hands
to cover eyes. Note: If the line
judge displays this signal, the
referee can make the call
immediately.

13. F. Appeals. Appeals to the referee regarding judgment
calls (line calls, double bounce, etc.) will be decided by
the referee. The referee may consult players or line
judges to decide the outcome of the appeal. (Example:
If all four players or both players in singles agree to a
replay, the referee should accommodate.)

13.F.1. A player may appeal a procedural or
judgment call to the referee. The referee
will consider procedural appeals and will
provide a decision.

13.F.2. A referee’s decision will result in a point
awarded, a service loss, or a replay.
