3 Controversial Umpires in Badminton

[@snehasarkar6914]

its unfair how marin hardly ever got point penalty for delaying serves and multiple warnings , but sindhu got right after one warning

[@somebody8105]

[@Pakmei11]

No, it is not unfair, different Match, nothing to do one with the other. Both Sindhu and Marin should be penalyse. I do think that badmiton umpire are to soft. I do not a shit of badmiton, but I think the refereces should learn a bit from rugby refereces (not only badmiton but a lot of sport).

[@udiudith3151]

Seems like That umpire is a sick mentaled person

[@HevaNaisdey]

Giving umpire absolute authority is completely and utterly stupid. Umpires are not there to display power over players, they are there to ensure fainess. If players can challenge a line call, they should be able to challenge an umpire's decision too. The idea of not allowing players to challege umpire's decision makes umpires become arrogant, because they think they can play god. The tournament referee should be allowed to review slo-mo replay or hawkeye of ANY situation to judge the umpire's decision once per match.

Most umpires are failed badminton players.

Another example why tournament referees are useless. What's surprising is this thing has been going on for too long. A lot of bad umpiring and poor decisions made worse when umpire calls cannot be reversed (even when there's a clear error). I'm also surprised this matter is not looked into and not improved by BWF, instead BWF is only interested in unnecessary changes like the point system.. Smh.

[@pauldodd2120]

Tournament referees are managing the tournament, starting with 4-5 courts. They can't look at all courts, and may be too far away or otherwise occupied. It's not their job to oversee rallies. The service judge can support the umpire by indicating a fault or whatever, but the umpire may not see this, may decide differently, or the service judge might not indicate anything.

@@pauldodd2120 in case of the Japanese doubles team, the refree could have just asked for the replay and then see that they challenged straight away .

I think that in these cases, when it is clear that there is a wrong decision by the umpire, the opponent in badminton who won the point should have the integrity to admit and tell the umpire that they should not get the point, and if that doesn't work have the respect to give the next point to the opponent. Similiar to how viktor axelsen gave that point to chou tien chen in a match. There is no honour in winning if you do not deserve it, and it is no victory either

[@karunanithin.ramachandran6482]

You are right . Players are often told to display sportsmanship but a lot of players will not, not because they lack integrity but are fearful that their national associations will penalize them . You can see this in a lot of sports , esp. team sports . Coaches and managers are pressured to perform and they in turn pressure the players to win at all cost . The days of true sportsmanship is a rare sight and probably will disappear altogether when prize money and national pride are the priority .

Why is there not just a "must serve before 30 seconds after the previous point ends" rule so it's clear if a player is delaying

[@munusamy4203]

Super analysis sir.

[@byrnez2755]

I've heard about the rampant umpiring issues and rightfully so. The governing body need to do much better is controlling or dismissing renegade umpires as well as some of the players who have disciplinary problems, or the sport will never grow beyond what it is and will never grow in the other markets where they want growth. With regards to the umpiring and other ethics problems with badminton... there is an "elephant in the room" that needs to be recognized but I am not gonna be the one to raise it ;)

Please check your understanding of the rules. Some of these intereptations of the rules are incorrect and could spread misinformation.

[@TheDreamLeaf]

which interpretations are incorrect?

[@obi2213]

@@TheDreamLeaf I think the video has been edited since I first watched it. 1. The umpire can give that point, there is the rule for delay the serve. However, in this instance he perhaps should have enforced it with a yellow/red card as the players had not taken up their serving/receiving positions. 2. Yes this scenario is a problem. It was a long time ago and has been corrected by bwf to not happen again. 3. The umpire genuinely thought a fault was made by Kevin. But had just made a mistake.

[@TheDreamLeaf]

@@obi2213 I thought if a video is edited, it has to be taken down then re-uploaded, which removes all comments? Thanks for the info! Genuinely funny judge actually thought Kevin touched after such a massive delay 🤣🤣🤣 Any idea if judge took back the fault? Or was this another case of an obviously wrong decision not being reversed?

[@obi2213]

@@TheDreamLeaf Yeah I thought that was the case too, but I'm sure the video was much longer with a lot more text when I saw it first... 🤔 🤷‍♂ Yeah, but got to remember, the umpire has to make a split decision and he quite a few people at the time heard a 'flick on' but it must have come from somewhere else. Unfortunately the rules don't allow the umpire to take back a fault. Happy to help 😊

[@TheDreamLeaf]

@@obi2213 Shame they can't take back a fault. I'm genuinely curious why this rule hasn't been addressed or removed considering situations like these occur. It would really suck for a world class badminton player to train so damn hard for years and years, only to lose a match purely due to obviously wrong calls like these

After 13:10 score he was just finding a chance to scold her... That impacted her game , japanies player showing that she's waiting but no one noticed that she's moving her racket as if she's not ready...

[@iwillfollowyou7395]

It doesn't matter if the Japanese player moves her racket or not, the Indian player should be in the position to serve first and the receiver will have to be ready, not the other way around. What really impacted the Indian player was her stamina. She tried to delay between serves in order to regain her energy. The moment the umpire "forced" here to serve faster, she has no time to regain her energy, thus, losing the game.

[@isshiomi6364]

International Badminton Body must study such issues and if the umpire/ referee is wrong he must not given that responsibility in future....Otherwise reputation of the body will get spoiled

Hawkeye - another side fact, it's a Chinese man where Chinese team is playing. Is that correct. 😵

[@frankl643]

I understand that Sindhu's mood was affected after receiving the penalty of one point, but her various actions before the serve were indeed intentional delays of the serve, and the umpire's penalty was no problem.

[@Naoki-ge5xp]

Ever heard of a yellow card before deducting a point? Ever heard of a server getting ready before the opponent?

[@adarshminj2543]

@@Naoki-ge5xpIts in rules that: If the actions are inappropriate and the umpire feels like it should be a red card , they can give a red card. The problem is with rules to give umpire the full and final authority to make the last decision even though there is video evidence, its much different in tennis
