What is the umpire responsible for in badminton?

Answer 1

In tournament-level play, some matches will have an Umpire to officiate, especially as the matches get closer to the finals. The umpire is on the court to ensure safe and fair play plus keep track of the score and determine a winner. The players often are asked to assist the umpire in making calls of in or out when the shuttle lands, although the umpire does have the final say. The umpire determines lets (the point is replayed) and faults (loss of point) and looks for illegal serves. If the umpire or a player suspects that someone has an illegal serve, a Service Judge would be brought to the court for the duration of the match. A service judge is simply another umpire who is trained to identify illegal serves. The service judge watches all the servers and calls “fault” upon seeing an illegal serve. Upon hearing the fault call, the umpire reports that a service fault has been called and indicates the next server and the score.
