After losing a point a player comes to you pointing at one of the singles sticks, which is lying on the ground. She says that the point should be replayed. You do not know when the stick fell. What is your decision?
- Replay the point
- The point stands
Correct Answer

A. The point stands

Explanation

The correct decision in this situation would be to let the point stand. Since the player cannot provide any evidence or prove that the stick falling affected the outcome of the point, it would be unfair to replay the point based solely on their claim. Without any concrete information about when the stick fell or how it influenced the game, it is reasonable to maintain the original outcome of the point.

During an ITF Circuits event, if a spectator calls “out” during a rally and one player stops playing, the Chair Umpire should replay the point.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

If a spectator calls "out" during a rally and one player stops playing, the Chair Umpire should not replay the point. The correct answer is False. The Chair Umpire should only replay the point if there is an external disturbance, such as a ball from another court rolling onto the court, or if the Chair Umpire deems that the player was hindered by the spectator's call. In this case, since the player stopped playing voluntarily due to the spectator's call, the point should not be replayed.

A player is wearing glasses during a match on a clay court. At 5-4, 30-15 in the 1st set, the player falls over and his glasses break. He asks for extra time to leave the court and change his glasses to contact lenses. What is the correct decision?
- Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses- 5 minutes maximum
- Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses- 15 minutes maximum
- Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses - “Reasonable time” allowed
Correct Answer

A. Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses - “Reasonable time” allowed

Explanation

The correct decision is to allow the player to leave the court to get contact lenses within a "reasonable time" allowed. Since the player's glasses have broken and he is unable to continue playing without them, it is necessary for him to switch to contact lenses. Allowing him to leave the court and change his glasses to contact lenses ensures that he can continue playing the match comfortably and without any hindrance. The specific time limit is not mentioned, but it is expected that the player will return within a reasonable time frame to resume the match.

At a WTA event a player requests to see the physiotherapist at the following changeover. The physiotherapist comes on court at the start of the following changeover, evaluates the medical condition and suggests that the player takes a Medical Time Out (MTO) straight away. The player says that she prefers to finish the set and declines the MTO for the moment. Will the player be able to receive a MTO for that condition later in the match?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Yes, the player will be able to receive a MTO for that condition later in the match. The player declined the MTO at that moment but did not refuse it altogether. Therefore, if the player's condition worsens or if she decides later on that she needs medical attention, she can still request and receive a MTO for that condition.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The chair umpire at a WTA event is responsible for checking the drink supplies on court before each match and ensuring that any unsealed bottles, drinks, and other products not provided by the tournament are removed from the court or coolers. This is to maintain fairness and ensure that only authorized and regulated items are present during the matches.

In a Mens Pro-Circuit match played on clay Player A stops the point after a close call on his base line. The chair umpire thinks that he made a mistake by not calling it out and makes a late out call as player A moves towards circling the mark. The opponent, player B, asks the chair umpire to check the mark. The mark touches the line. What is the correct decision?
- Let, replay the point.
- Point to player B.
Correct Answer

A. Point to player B.

Explanation

Player B should be awarded the point. The chair umpire's late out call was made after player A had already stopped the point, indicating that the call was made in error. Player B's request to check the mark confirms that the ball did indeed touch the line, meaning it was in. Therefore, player B should be awarded the point.

During the Deciding Match Tie-Break of an ATP doubles match, the Chair Umpire realises at 5-3 that the serving team changed the order of serving for the last point. Should this be corrected immediately?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Yes, the order of serving should be corrected immediately. In tennis, the order of serving is crucial as it alternates between teams after each game. If the serving order is changed incorrectly, it can disrupt the fairness and integrity of the match. The Chair Umpire has the responsibility to ensure that the rules are followed correctly, so it is necessary for them to correct the mistake promptly to maintain the integrity of the match.

The Team Sponsor identification usually placed on the sleeve for Davis Cup is allowed on the front of the shirt if the shirt is sleeveless.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The statement is true because it states that the Team Sponsor identification, which is usually placed on the sleeve for Davis Cup, is allowed on the front of the shirt if the shirt is sleeveless. This means that if the shirt does not have sleeves, the Team Sponsor identification can be placed on the front of the shirt instead of the sleeve.

Can organisers of professional tournaments apply to have extended changeoversand set breaks (i.e. more than 90 seconds and 120 seconds respectively)?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Organisers of professional tournaments can apply to have extended changeovers and set breaks. This means that they have the option to request for more than the standard 90 seconds for changeovers and 120 seconds for set breaks during the tournament. This flexibility allows organisers to tailor the tournament experience and schedule according to their specific needs and requirements.

At an ATP event using no ad scoring for doubles one team selects their choice of side for the deciding point. A let is then called in the middle of the point and the point is to be replayed. Can the receivers now change their choice of side to return from?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. No

Explanation

In a doubles match using no ad scoring, each team is allowed to choose their side for the deciding point. However, if a let is called in the middle of the point and the point is replayed, the receivers cannot change their choice of side to return from. Once the initial choice of side is made, it remains the same for the entire point, even if it is replayed. Therefore, the answer is no.

- None
- One
- Two
Correct Answer

A. One

Explanation

During a Grand Slam best-of-five sets singles match, players are typically allowed one toilet break per match. In this scenario, the player has already taken one toilet break at the end of the first set. Therefore, the player is allowed one more toilet break.

A Line Umpire comes to you at the end of a point and says that a player has come up to him and said “You should give this up mate, you’re a fucking disgrace”. No one else heard this. What will you do?
- Do nothing
- This is a default – call the supervisor
- Change line umpire
- Issue a code violation
Correct Answer

A. Issue a code violation

Explanation

In this scenario, the line umpire has reported that a player made a disrespectful and offensive comment towards them. As a referee or supervisor, it is important to maintain a respectful and fair environment for all participants. Issuing a code violation to the player who made the comment is necessary to address their inappropriate behavior and uphold the standards of sportsmanship. This action sends a clear message that such language and behavior will not be tolerated on the court.

In an ATP event, a player receives a Time Violation. After another 25 seconds, if the player is still not ready to play, what is the correct decision?
- Issue a Time Violation
- Issue a Code Violation
- Say "Let's Play"
- Immediately default player
Correct Answer

A. Issue a Code Violation

Explanation

If a player receives a Time Violation in an ATP event and after another 25 seconds they are still not ready to play, the correct decision is to issue a Code Violation. This means that the player has exceeded the time limit allowed between points and will receive a penalty. It is important to enforce the rules and regulations of the game to maintain fairness and ensure that players adhere to the time constraints during matches.

When should the Chair Umpire call “time” after a medical time out for a re-taping of the foot?
- Following the advice of “treatment complete”
- After the player has had time to replace the shoe and sock
- When the trainer leaves the court
Correct Answer

A. After the player has had time to replace the shoe and sock

Explanation

After a medical time out for a re-taping of the foot, the Chair Umpire should call "time" after the player has had time to replace the shoe and sock. This is because re-taping the foot requires the player to remove their shoe and sock, and it is important to give them enough time to properly replace them before resuming the match. Calling "time" after the player has replaced their shoe and sock ensures that they are ready to continue playing without any discomfort or hindrance.

At an ATP tournament where the Electronic Review System is being used, Player A has already used up the three (3) unsuccessful challenges in the second set after losing the first set. At match point (5-‐4, 40-‐30) for Player B, Player B hits a ball to the baseline which is called ‘IN’ by the line umpire. Player A (who has no challenges remaining) challenges and the Chair Umpire and Review Official allow the challenge. The result of the challenge is shown on the video board and the ball was actually ‘OUT’. At this point, it is realised that the challenging player had already used up the three (3) incorrect challenges. What is the correct decision?
- Allow the challenge and award the point to Player A.
- Disallow the challenge and go with the original call and award the point (and match) to Player B.
- Replay the point.
Correct Answer

A. Disallow the challenge and go with the original call and award the point (and match) to Player B.

Explanation

Since Player A has already used up all three of their unsuccessful challenges, they are not allowed to challenge anymore. Therefore, the challenge should be disallowed and the original call of 'IN' should stand. The point (and match) should be awarded to Player B.

- Go on court to evaluate a player's medical condition if requested by the Referee
- Examine a player off court if requested by the Referee
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Both of the above

Explanation

In Davis Cup, the independent (neutral) doctor is allowed to go on court to evaluate a player's medical condition if requested by the referee. Additionally, the doctor is also permitted to examine a player off the court if requested by the referee. Therefore, both options are correct, as the doctor can perform medical evaluations both on and off the court if requested by the referee.

At a Grand Slam, if a Medical Time Out takes place off court, the 3 minutes fortreatment starts when the player leaves the court.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

At a Grand Slam, if a Medical Time Out takes place off court, the 3 minutes for treatment does not start when the player leaves the court. This means that the time for treatment only begins once the player returns to the court and is ready to resume play. Therefore, the statement is false.

In a singles match played with singles sticks Player A is out wide and attempts to hit around the netpost. The ball hits the netpost halfway down, but it is the slightest of touches, and it continues into court past the opponent (Player B) who cannot reach it. What is your decision?
- Player A wins point
- Player B wins point
Correct Answer

A. Player B wins point

Explanation

Player B wins the point. According to the rules of tennis, if the ball hits the netpost and continues into the opponent's court without being touched by the opponent, the player who hit the ball (Player A) loses the point. Since Player B cannot reach the ball, Player A's shot is considered out and Player B is awarded the point.

- When the ball hits the net
- When the ball bounces in Player A's court
- When the ball bounces twice in Player A's court
Correct Answer

A. When the ball bounces twice in Player A's court

Explanation

When the ball bounces twice in Player A's court, it is considered dead. This means that Player A has lost the point because the ball has bounced twice on their side of the court without them being able to return it.

At an ITF Men's Circuit event the server receives a Time Violation loss of serve. During his 2nd serve service motion a ball rolls onto the middle of the court and the Chair Umpire stops him by announcing "Wait please". The server is now entitled to a 1st serve.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During a tennis match, if there is an interruption or distraction during the server's service motion, the server is entitled to a first serve. In this scenario, the ball rolling onto the middle of the court caused the Chair Umpire to stop the server, indicating that there was an interruption. Therefore, the server is correct in receiving a first serve.

It has been agreed in advance that a Deciding Match Tie-Break (10 points) willbe played instead of the final set. However, the Chair Umpire and players forgetto play the Deciding Match Tie-Break and start a normal set instead. The error isdiscovered at 30-0 in the first game of the set. What is the correct decision?
- Correct immediately to Deciding Match Tie-Break (ignore the two points that have been played)
- Correct immediately to Deciding Match Tie-Break (count the two points @ that have been played
- Play two games. If the score is 2-0, the player leading wins the match. If the score is 1-1, play a Deciding Match Tie-Break
- Play the best of four games. If a player wins 3 games, he/she wins the match. If the score reaches 2-2, play a Deciding Match Tie-Break
- Continue with the normal set for the rest of the match
Correct Answer

A. Play the best of four games. If a player wins 3 games, he/she wins the match. If the score reaches 2-2, play a Deciding Match Tie-Break

Explanation

The correct decision is to play the best of four games. If a player wins 3 games, he/she wins the match. If the score reaches 2-2, a Deciding Match Tie-Break should be played. This is because the error of forgetting to play the Deciding Match Tie-Break was discovered at 30-0 in the first game of the set. Therefore, the match should continue with the normal set for the rest of the match until a player wins 3 games or the score reaches 2-2.

Player A is running towards a ball in play in a doubles match. Just before he attempts to return the ball, the Chair Umpire is blocked by his partner (Player B). The ball is returned and in play but the opponents (Players C & D) claim a “Not Up” and stop play. The Chair Umpire could not make the call because he/she was blocked. What is the correct decision?
- Play a let
- Point to players A + B
- Point to players C + D
Correct Answer

A. Point to players A + B

Explanation

The correct decision is to point to players A + B. Since the Chair Umpire was blocked and unable to make the call, the decision falls to the players involved in the play. In this case, Player A was running towards the ball and attempted to return it, so the point should be awarded to players A + B.

During a point, player A loses her shoe in the middle of the court and hits the ball back into play. What should the chair umpire do?
- Nothing, the point continues.
- Call a let as soon as you see the shoe on the court.
Correct Answer

A. Nothing, the point continues.

Explanation

If a player loses her shoe during a point but is still able to hit the ball back into play, the chair umpire should do nothing and let the point continue. Losing a shoe does not automatically result in a stoppage of play or a let being called. As long as the player is able to continue playing without any hindrance, the point should be played out.

- Nothing
Correct Answer

A. Give them a Code for Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Explanation

Based on the given scenario, the player went for a toilet break but did not actually use the toilet. This behavior can be considered unsportsmanlike conduct as it goes against the rules and fair play. Therefore, giving the player a Code for Unsportsmanlike Conduct would be an appropriate response to address this behavior and ensure fair play in the game.

Is the Assistant Referee allowed to overrule the line call and award the point to the opponent?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. No

Explanation

No, the Assistant Referee is not allowed to overrule the line call and award the point to the opponent.

At 4/1 in the 1st set in a Women’s Pro-Circuit match, player A asks to see the trainer. The chair umpire informs the opponent, player B, that the trainer has been called to the court. Player B asks the chair umpire to go to the toilet. Player B hasn't yet been to the toilet or to a change of attire break during this match. What should the chair umpire do?
- Allow player B to go to the toilet. (Nothing in the rule says you cannot let her go)
- Wait for the trainer to arrive and allow player B to go to the toilet only in case there will be a medical time out for player A.
- Tell player B that she has to wait until the set break
Correct Answer

A. Allow player B to go to the toilet. (Nothing in the rule says you cannot let her go)

Explanation

The chair umpire should allow player B to go to the toilet. The question states that player B has not yet been to the toilet or had a change of attire break during the match, and there is nothing in the rule that prohibits player B from going to the toilet. Therefore, it is within the chair umpire's discretion to allow player B to take a toilet break.

In a doubles match A + B versus C + D Player A hits a ball very hard and close to Player C which then goes long and is called out. You award the point to team C + D. Player B then claims the ball hit Player C and asks him if it did indeed hit him. Player C confirms that it did hit him. What is your decision?
- Point to team A+ B
- Point to team C+ D
- Ask the team C + D if they wish to concede the point, and only award the point to team A + B if they agree
- Replay point
Correct Answer

A. Ask the team C + D if they wish to concede the point, and only award the point to team A + B if they agree

Explanation

In this situation, Player B claims that the ball hit Player C, and Player C confirms that it did indeed hit him. Since Player C admits that the ball hit him, it means that the ball was not out as initially called. Therefore, the point should be awarded to team A + B. However, to ensure fairness and sportsmanship, it is appropriate to ask team C + D if they wish to concede the point. If they agree to concede, the point should be awarded to team A + B.

If the electronic line calling system makes a clear mistake is the Chair Umpire allowed to overrule it?
- Yes
- No

The electronic line calling system is considered to be accurate and reliable, and its decisions are generally final. The Chair Umpire's role is to oversee the match and make decisions on other aspects of the game, such as player conduct and rule violations, but they do not have the authority to overrule the electronic line calling system's decisions.

- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

False. According to the given information, players are allowed to wear two clothing manufacturer logos of 2 sq.in. each and one commercial logo of 4 sq.in. on the front of the shirt. Therefore, the correct answer is false because the statement says "also on the front of the shirt," which implies that there are additional logos allowed on the front of the shirt, which is not true.

Singles match at an ATP tournament. The server hits a 1st serve and the receiver plays a winning return. The server, who did not make an attempt to get to the return of serve, immediately challenges his own serve. Is this is allowed?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Yes, this is allowed. In tennis, players are allowed to challenge any call, including their own serves. The server has the right to challenge the call if they believe it was incorrect. However, if the server challenges their own serve and the call is proven to be correct, they will lose one of their challenges.

Singles match at an ITF Women’s Circuit event. A player loses her service game and requests a toilet break at 3-2 in the final set. This player has taken one (1) previous toilet break during this match. After a discussion with the player, the Chair Umpire allows the player to leave the court and informs the player that she is leaving the court on her own time and that delays will be penalised with back-to-back time violations. This is the correct way to handle the situation.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The correct way to handle the situation is False. The player has already taken one toilet break during the match, and according to the rules, players are only allowed one toilet break per match. Allowing the player to take another toilet break would be against the rules. Additionally, the Chair Umpire informing the player that delays will be penalized with back-to-back time violations is not the correct approach. The player should be given a reasonable amount of time for the toilet break, and any excessive delays can be penalized separately.

It is a Medical Time Out and no supervisor has come to the court. The tournament doctor is present and he tells you that treatment will have to take place off court as he needs to give the player a pain killing injection. What is your decision?
- Allow both player and doctor to leave the court.
- You do not allow the treatment – this type of injection is not allowed
- Insist on waiting for the supervisor being involved as this will need to be authorised first.
Correct Answer

A. You do not allow the treatment – this type of injection is not allowed

Explanation

The correct answer is "You do not allow the treatment – this type of injection is not allowed." This decision is based on the fact that the type of injection being suggested, a pain-killing injection, is not allowed according to the rules or regulations of the tournament. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the rules and not allow the treatment to take place.

- Replay the point and advise the player that if it happens again he will lose the point.
- Award point to the opponent
Correct Answer

A. Award point to the opponent

Explanation

In this scenario, the correct decision is to award the point to the opponent. The player's shot went into the net, which means that the ball falling out of his pocket did not affect the outcome of the point. Since the shot was not successful, the opponent should be awarded the point. Additionally, it is important to advise the player that if the same situation occurs again, he will lose the point, in order to maintain fairness and discourage any potential rule violations.

After the first set tie-break in a Grand Slam women’s singles match, Player A is due to serve but, in error, Player B starts serving and the error is discovered by the Chair Umpire during the second game of the second set. What should the Chair Umpire do?
- Correct the serving order immediately
- Amend the ball change – one game earlier than scheduled
- Amend the ball change – one game later than scheduled
- Nothing
Correct Answer

A. Amend the ball change – one game later than scheduled

Explanation

In this scenario, Player B made an error by starting to serve instead of Player A. The Chair Umpire discovered this mistake during the second game of the second set. According to the correct answer, the Chair Umpire should amend the ball change - one game later than scheduled. This means that the ball change should be adjusted to occur after the next game instead of the current game. This ensures that the serving order is corrected without interrupting the ongoing game.

At an ATP tournament, the server has received a warning and a “fault, loss of serve” for being slow. Later on, when serving again, he receives a 3rd Time Violation. What is the penalty?
- Fault, loss of serve
- Point Penalty
Correct Answer

A. Fault, loss of serve

Explanation

When a server receives a warning and a "fault, loss of serve" for being slow, it means that the server has taken too much time between points. In this case, when the server serves again and receives a 3rd Time Violation, the penalty would be a "fault, loss of serve" once again. This means that the server will lose the point and the opponent will gain a point.

At 5/5 (15-15) in the final set, a player asks the chair umpire to see the trainer and sits down on his chair. The player says that he is cramping and can't continue until the changeover. What should the chair umpire do?
- Call for the trainer, but tell the player that he has to continue playing for now as he is not allowed to stop play for cramps.
- Stop play and call for the trainer.
- Call for the trainer, but tell the player that he has to continue playing for now as he is not allowed to stop play for cramps.
Correct Answer

A. Stop play and call for the trainer.

Explanation

The correct answer is to stop play and call for the trainer. In this situation, the player is experiencing cramps and is unable to continue playing. It is important for the chair umpire to prioritize the player's health and well-being, so they should stop play and call for the trainer to assess the situation and provide any necessary medical assistance.
