Practice between tournaments
Consistency across officials. Consistency within every official.
Practice between tournaments helps officials develop a shared interpretation of the rules and maintain reliable judgment whenever they officiate.
A shared standard
Officials must work as one team, interpreting the applicable rules through shared criteria and applying those criteria consistently. Comparable situations should receive consistent decisions, whoever is officiating.
A dependable individual
Each official must maintain that same standard from the first match to the last, and from one tournament to the next—in decisions, signals, procedures, and professional conduct.
Athletes and coaches should be able to trust the standard applied to them.
One competition. Different responsibilities.
Built for everyone who influences the athlete’s experience.
