Al “Professor” 

Massimo Francesconi 

Istruttore alle Scuole 

(18/5/1961 – 31/1/2004)

PREMESSA 

Tredici anni fa, all’indomani dei risultati negativi della Scuola di Livello 3 del 1997 di Londra, ci si 

interrogò sui rimedi possibili affinché gli Ufficiali di Gara di tennis italiani candidati alle scuole 

internazionali potessero affrontare gli esami dei relativi Organismi in modo sereno e consapevole di 

ciò che li avrebbe aspettati in sede di Scuola vera e propria. 

Fu dunque deciso, a partire dal 1998 ed insieme all’allora rappresentante del CCUG Luigi Savino, 

che fu il primo a credere in questo progetto, di creare un sistema di seminari e di pre-scuole, sia di 

Livello 2 che di Livello 3, da affiancare alle Scuole di Livello 1 organizzate in collaborazione con 

l’ITF, il cui obiettivo era e rimane quello di fornire un’adeguata preparazione ed al contempo di 

selezionare i migliori candidati. Per fare ciò sono stati preparati in questi tredici anni centinaia di 

quiz e casi pratici, raccolti per la prima volta ora tutti insieme in questo volume, e messi a 

disposizione di chiunque voglia affinare la propria preparazione. 

Desidero ringraziare tutti coloro che in questi anni hanno via via condiviso con me le lunghe 

giornate d’aula in qualità di Istruttori: Massimo Francesconi (al quale questo volume è dedicato), 

Luigi Brambilla, Carmelo Di Dio, Gianluca Moscarella, Giorgio Tarantola, Romano Grillotti, 

Lorenzo Peduzzi, e Roberto Ranieri. Mi scuso se ho involontariamente omesso qualcuno. Ringrazio 

inoltre Maria Cristina Barbarano per la scrittura di gran parte dei quiz delle pre-scuole del 

2006/2007 e per la redazione operativa del presente manuale. 

Un ringraziamento va anche ai due Coordinatori degli UdG italiani Certificati, Pierluigi Grana e 

Carmelo Di Dio, che si sono succeduti negli anni delle scuole, e che mi hanno sempre lasciato mano 

libera nella loro gestione, non interferendo mai nei risultati. Così come un grazie sentito va a i tre 

Presidenti del CCUG (Maurizio Bertini, Mauro Guerrini ed Ettore Marte) che hanno reso 

tecnicamente possibili le scuole in questi tredici anni. 

L’ultimo più forte ringraziamento va a tutti coloro che in questo lungo periodo sono stati allievi 

delle pre-scuole e dei seminari. I loro consigli e le loro critiche costruttive hanno permesso di 

migliorare il sistema stesso e renderlo il più possibile simile a quello che affronteranno realmente in 

sede di esame internazionale.

INTRODUCTION 

Thirteen years ago, following the negative results of the 1997 Level 3 School in London, we 

“brainstormed” on possible remedies on how the Italian candidates in Tennis Officials Certification 

Schools could face the exams of the governing bodies of tennis in a serene way and aware of what 

they could expect within the school itself. It was therefore decided, starting in 1998, to create a 

system of workshops and pre-schools, alongside the Schools of Level 1 organized in collaboration 

with the ITF, whose goal was and remains to provide a proper preparation and at the same time to 

select the best candidates. 

To do so, were prepared in these thirteen years hundreds of quizzes and case studies collected for 

the first time now all together in this volume, and available to anyone who wants to improve his 

preparation. 

I wish to thank all those who in recent years have gradually shared with me the long days in the 

classroom as teachers: Massimo Francesconi (to which this volume is dedicated), Luigi Brambilla, 

Carmelo Di Dio, Gianluca Moscarella Giorgio Tarantola, Romano Grillotti, Lorenzo Peduzzi, and 

Roberto Ranieri. I apologize if I have inadvertently omitted someone. I also thank Maria Cristina 

Barbarano for writing most of the quiz of pre-schools in 2006/2007 and the drawing of this 

operational manual. 

Last stronger thanks to all those who during this long period were students in pre-schools and 

seminars. Their advice and their constructive criticisms have helped to improve the system and 

make it as close as possible to what actually face in the international examination.

AVVERTENZA 

Si dice spesso, ed anche a ragione, che l’importante nell’arbitraggio sia “saper stare bene sulla 

sedia”, quasi a sottintendere che l’approfondita conoscenza delle regole e procedure sia un optional. 

Tuttavia non bisogna dimenticare che da diversi anni gli Organismi Internazionali deputati a 

conferire le Certificazioni hanno compiuto la scelta di dare molta importanza alle scuole ed ai tests 

che in queste vengono presentati agli allievi. 

In realtà conoscenza delle regole ed esperienza sul campo (anche per i Referees ovviamente) sono 

due facce della stessa medaglia: bisogna esercitarsi e conoscere tutte e due e, a mio modesto parere, 

nel caso degli aspiranti Referees è importante compiere diversi assistentati. 

In questa guida trovate, divisi per anni, i tests e quiz dal 1998 al 2009. La mancanza di qualche 

annata deriva o dall’assenza di scuole in quel periodo o dal fatto che in quell’anno i tests non erano 

stati preparati dal sottoscritto. (Unica eccezione: i test e pop-quiz preparati da Maria Cristina 

Barbarano, che mi ha autorizzato a riprodurli). 

Per scelta editoriale solo alcuni test contengono le soluzioni, al fine di stimolare il lettore a ricercare 

le giuste risposte sui Rulebooks, oltre che a prepararlo ad affrontare le difficoltà di aula 

rappresentate dai tanti tests e pop quiz che gli saranno sottoposti. I nomi citati negli esercizi delle 

“acceptance lists” e negli altri esercizi sono solo a scopo didattico e non corrispondono a casi reali, 

mentre le liste vere e proprie corrispondono a quelle realmente disponibili per il torneo. 

I quiz e la casistica riportati nel presente volume abbracciano un periodo di tempo molto ampio. 

Alcuni di essi non hanno più validità pratica o vengono ripetuti nel corso dei vari anni o le regole e 

le procedure di riferimento sono cambiate e quindi necessitano di una risposta diversa negli anni. Si 

è tuttavia ritenuto di includerli ugualmente tutti al fine di dare completezza alla presente raccolta. 

Si rammenta inoltre che nelle varie prescuole non sempre è stato usato lo stesso schema ed ordine di 

proposizione dei tests e/o lo stesso stile grafico nelle domande, ma sono stati riproposti tali e quali 

per mantenere la genuinità del lavoro originale. Infine il format delle scuole è cambiato negli anni e 

quindi si troveranno differenze sensibili nelle tipologia di tests proposti: ad esempio negli ultimi 

anni agli aspiranti Referees sono stati sempre più proposti tests sulle “acceptance lists”. 

I quiz ed i tests qui raccolti sono esclusivamente frutto del lavoro personale e non hanno la pretesa 

di sostituirsi a quelli degli Organismi Internazionali, i quali rimangono gli unici deputati a decidere 

delle relative Certificazioni. I presenti quiz devono essere quindi letti come un aiuto alla 

preparazione e non come una ripetizione di tests già pubblicati e/o un’anticipazione di tests che si 

ritroveranno agli esami veri e propri. In particolare la lettura del presente manuale non può in 

nessun modo sostituire l’approfondito studio dei testi ufficiali pubblicati dagli Organismi 

Internazionali per la preparazione alle Scuole (con particolare riguardo alle Regole di Tennis 

ed alle Duties & Procedures), e che devono essere affrontati con scrupolosa attenzione. In ogni 

caso solo per le scuole di Livello 1 è stato usato il riferimento alla parola “ITF”, in quanto solo 

queste scuole si svolgono sotto l’egida della Federazione Internazionale. Le pre-scuole ed i seminari 

di Livello 2 e 3 sono invece di mia personale concezione e si sono invece svolte in collaborazione 

con la FIT. 

6

Solo occasionalmente si potranno trovare alcuni quiz ripresi da o che si ispirino a quelli presenti 

negli “open book tests” o altri dell’ITF (e denotati con **), in ogni caso disponibili per chiunque 

abbia una certificazione minima da “White Badge Official”, e qui riportati solo a fine didattico. 

Sono state infine aggiunte un’appendice contenente tests mai proposti alle pre-scuole, alcuni 

appunti (che io avevo originariamente escluso) e che Giuseppe Solarino mi ha inviato nuovamente, 

scrivendomi che gli avrebbe fatto piacere che fossero introdotti nella versione finale del libro (e 

cedendone gentilmente i diritti), nonché una guida/vademecum con alcuni consigli pratici per 

affrontare al meglio i giorni degli esami.

ADVICE 

For editorial choice only a few tests contain solutions in order to stimulate the reader to find the 

right answers on rulebooks, as well as to prepare her/him to face the difficulties of class represented 

by the many pop quizzes and tests that will be submitted. The names mentioned in the exercises of 

"acceptance lists" and other exercises are for educational purposes only and do not correspond to 

real cases, while the actual lists correspond to those actually available for the tournament. 

The quizzes and case studies reported in this volume cover a wide period of time. Some of them are 

no longer valid or practice is repeated over the course of several years or the rules and procedures of 

reference have changed and therefore require a different response over the years. However, it was 

decided to include all equally in order to give completeness to this collection. It is recalled that in 

the various preschool is not always used the same pattern and order of sentence of tests and / or 

questions in the same style, but also put forward as such to maintain the authenticity of the original 

work. Finally, the format of the schools has changed over the years and then find substantial 

differences in types of tests proposed: for example in recent years to aspiring Referees have been 

increasingly proposed tests on the "acceptance lists”. 

Quizzes and tests collected here are solely the result of personal work and not meant to replace 

those of international organizations, which remain the only members to decide the international 

certifications. These quizzes must therefore be read as an aid in the preparation and not as a 

repetition of tests already published and / or anticipation of tests that will meet the tests themselves. 

In particular, the reading of this text in no way substitutes the study of official documents 

and books for the preparation of the schools, and that must be addressed with great care.

Evaluation Review & Questions – Final Exam!! 

Day 1 – morning 

La scuola inizia con un’introduzione personale fatta da ognuno di noi. 

Successivamente ci viene sottoposto un simpatico Pre-test composto da 25 domande a 

risposta multipla da svolgere in 20 minuti su Rules of tennis e Duties and Procedures. 

Dopo un coffee break si passa alla correzione del pre-test (corrette solo 14 domande). 

1. CONTACT LENSES/GLASSES (Duties and Procedures, pag. 23) 

Q.: A player is wearing glasses. At the end of a point the player breaks his glasses. He 

asks for reasonable time to change his glasses with contact lenses that are in his car. Is it 

allowed reasonable time for this? 

A.: Yes. When contact lenses or glasses become Equipment Out of Adjustment (dirty 

lenses or broken glasses) and the player has a pair of the other item they are allowed to 

change it and reasonable time is given. The rule has changed from this year: they can 

change it if they are EOOA; players CANNOT CHOOSE to change it. 

If it is raining and the player is wearing glasses, he cannot get extra time to change 

glasses into contact lenses. But we can do our best to let contact lenses be brought to the 

court (then during the next change over, he can change it in his own time). 

2. DRESS CODE 

Q.: Differences between ATP and Grand Slam (or ITF). 

In ATP we only talk about Clothing Sponsor: it doesn’t have to be a company 

creating tennis clothes, but it can be anything else. No Clothing Sponsor or 

Commercial Identification can be tobacco, alcohol or gambling company. Yes 

automobile. 

In ITF some changes on the dress code: the size of manuf. now is up to 4 sq. inch. 

On each SLEEVE will be of 4 sq. inch. 

214

On the SHIRT (front, back and collar) there are 2 of 2 sq. inch. or 1 of 4 sq. inch. 

On SHORTS and SKIRTS there are 2 of 2 sq. inch. or 1 of 4 sq. inch. 

From this year in ATP and WTA a player is allowed to have on each sleeve or on 

the outer seams (sides of torso) of the shirt a 12 sq. inch. logo with no writing (ex.: 

adidas brand); 

The 3 stripes of adidas won’t be allowed at any event from 26 th of June 

(Wimbledon), except in the size and in the area designated from the rule above. 

3. Q.: Rally on hard court without line umpires. A ball lands close to the far side line but 

you are blocked. What you do as chair umpire? 

A.: Wait for player’s reaction: if there is a reaction, play a let. The reaction is not 

considered a player’s appeal because no decision was made. 

Q.: During a rally, the umpire doesn’t see a “not up” because blocked. The opponent 

stops play claiming there was a “not up” and then he should win the point. 

A.: the “not up” is primary responsibility of the chair umpire: if he doesn’t see it, is like 

it didn’t happen. 

The difference is that in the 1 st case we know that the ball bounced: we are not able to 

know if it is good or not. In the 2 nd case we don’t know if it happened or not. 

4. TEAM IDENTIFICATION RULE. 

a) players dress in national colours; or 

b) they display the nation’s name on the back (preferably both, a) and b)). 

In doubles: or both players with a) or both with b) but they have to be dressed in 

substantially the same colours (preferably both the conditions). 

5. Q.: Match played without chair umpire on hard court. A player calls a ball, clearly good, 

out. You are off court watching the match. What you do? 

A.: if you watch it, go on court and apply the involuntary hindrance rule (1 st is a let; 

from the next one, he loses the point), because it was a blatantly incorrect call. 

6. POINT PENALTY SCHEDULE 

Warning, Point, Game, Game or Default, Game or Default, Game or Default. 

Until the 3 rd violation, the chair umpire is responsible; after the chair umpire 

decides which one is a violation and the referee decides the penalty (game or 

default) and he must be on court. 

Exceptions: a) cases of delay of game (no rackets left, out on his own time) 

b) when the court is far and is a long walking distance for the supervisor 

(never stop the clock to wait for the supervisor: we don’t want to give extra time to 

the player because of waiting for the supervisor, when, for example, player is 

cramping or he has no racket left). 

7. PARTISAN CROWD IN DAVIS AND FED CUP 

It has not to be applied for a single person but for a group; 

215

Normally it occurs during the service or a smash; 

The 1 st time we can call the let + soft warning (only once in a match); 

After the partisan crowd has to be applied, always play a let + the violation, unless 

the team who was disturbed won the point (and then just the violation will be 

applied at the end of the point). 

8. Q.: At the end of the match, the player starts to complain with us. What do you do? 

A.: Nothing to do. Just leave the court and report it to the supervisor (no need to advice 

the player, it could be even worst). 

9. EXTREME WEATHER CONDITION 

What is allowed: What is not allowed: 

- 10 minutes break - no coaching 

- adjust support (ex.: knee brace) - no treatment 

- take a shower 

- advice from the trainer 

In WTA there is more flexibility about the treatments during the 10 minutes break 

because they have seen in the past that after the first point of the 3 rd set, players used to 

ask for the trainer, losing more time practically. This is the reason why, with the 

agreement of the supervisor, players can be treated during the EWC. 

10. LOTTO ATP LINE LOTTO WTA LINE 

Grand Slam: YES Grand Slam: YES 

Men’ events: YES Women’ events: YES 

Davis Cup: NO Fed Cup: YES 

11. WTA TOUR PATCH 

Now there is just 1 patch: the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Patch 

It can be placed on the sleeve or on the front 

Is a requirement in WTA (exception: some clothing don’t allow to wear other 

different patches 

Is not allowed in Grand Slam events 

12. MTO for cramps is just once in the match + 2 change over treatments, in any order 

13. Q.: At the end of the tie-break, by mistake the wrong player is serving. You realize this 

during the 2 nd game. When are we going to change the balls? 

A.: One game later than the original fixed ball change. 

14. WARM UP JACKET – DAVIS CUP 

Q.: How many commercial logos of the NATS can be placed on? 

A.: 2, one on the sleeve and another one on the back. 

LUNCH 

216

Day 1 – Afternoon 

Il pomeriggio inizia con un simpatico Pop-Quiz: 

Pop-Quiz 1: the base line umpire calls the footfault. The player shouts something to the line 

umpire who made the call and then, turning up, he throws his racket to the line umpire who 

misses it moving quickly from his position. The racket flies out of the court and lands 

outside the fence without touching anything. What you do as chair umpire? 

A.: Call the supervisor for a possible (immediate) default. 

CODE OF CONDUCT 

Like international officials we have to look more deeply about how to communicate 

with players; 

We should reflect about all the situations: be yourself and ask yourself if you did well 

or not. 

SUGGESTION: When we are on TV, tape your match to see your behaviour on the 

chair (if we are moving our legs or scratching our face) 

Seguono alcuni video di situazioni di Code of Conduct alle quali a turno si viene chiamati a 

rispondere. Qui di seguito alcuni casi visionati. 

1. Australian Open 2006 (Santoro) 

A line umpire calls a footfault on the 1 st service at break point. At the end of the point 

(losing the game), Santoro, close to the net, spits in the direction of that line umpire. 

Action: clear action, is Code Violation, UnC (if he spits on someone or he misses the 

person because he moved from his position, should be a default). 

SUGGESTION: announce the Code Violation after calling the score because 

a) he can do something else (we put together in one code) 

b) the crowd is quite after the score in the way that they can hear it 

2. US Open 2005 (Rusedski vs Murray). 

Late call and then late overrule. The player to CU: “You’re fucking blind, you’re 

fucking bad”. 

If it is the 1 st violation, it is easy (warning); if it is point penalty, break point at 4-4 

fifth set? Probably not……But of course it depends on: ask yourself, 

Is it going to destroy the match? 

How many people are there? 

Microphones? 

Show court 

If you know we cannot convince the player (about our call/overrule), don’t do that. 

Don’t sell the unsellable! Get the player going on 

Don’t say “let’s play”, let the player focus on the next point. 

If the crowd is “buuuing” on you, don’t tell anything more the crowd: can you win 

against the crowd? No, so don’t try it. 

SUGGESTION: You know to be on TV, so be normal, natural. Give a good 

impression. The camera maybe will be on you!! 

217

3. Australian Open 2004 (Ferrero) 

Ferrero is receiving a change over only treatment. The CU calls time and advices the 

player that he can get into the code if not ready. Ferrero nods and then the CU calls 15 

secs and the trainer finishes. His opponent is still on his chair. When Ferrero is going to 

serve, the CU assesses him a Code Violation for Delay of Game. Bad solution. 

His opponent wasn’t pushing for anything. Before doing this, give a look also to the other 

player. Don’t be focused just on one player. 

4. Roland Garros (Coria) 

Coria racket abuse to the ballkid. 

Action: first of all go and check the ballkid (or spectator), because you can get more 

informations (bruising or blood). This is for 2 reasons: 

a) You show we care of anyone; 

b) We check if he is ok. 

Coria takes off his shirt and gives it to the ballkid (he’s smiling). 

SUGGESTION: we should call the supervisor if we think it is a default; if not, we 

can go with the code. 

5. Wimbledon 

During a rally, there is an “out” called by the crowd. The player stops play. 

Decision: he loses the point, we don’t replay the point. 

Action: Use sympathy card (be positive). 

To player: “Look, I’m going to tell them”, “I’m going to do something” 

To crowd: “Please don’t call lines during play, let the LU make their job” 

FIVE REASONS FOR IMMEDIATE DEFAULT: 

1) Serious Unsport. Conduct: spitting on someone; shaking violently the umpire’s chair; 

2) Serious Verbal Abuse: something said very bad or when they really meant; 

3) Serious Physical Abuse; 

4) Trying intentionally to hit someone (also if not injured); 

5) Unintentionally hitting someone (injuring). 

If we are in one of this cases we need to call the “Code Violation”, we stop (and not 

suspend) the play and we call the supervisor. If crowded, we can also let the crowd 

understand we are calling the supervisor. 

The situation is hot, and the chair umpire has to be ice. 

When the supervisor arrives on court, give him the exact picture. 

218

Day 2 – Morning 

Il secondo giorno inizia con un secondo Pop-Quiz. 

Pop-Quiz 2: At the end of the match a player is not happy. 1 hour later you started your 

lunch and at the restaurant the coach and the player come to you. The coach is saying “You 

cheated my player”; the player says “you fucked up a big”. What do you do? 

CHAIR UMPIRING 

Write on a paper, the name of the best chair umpire you saw on chair: 

Sandra De Jenken Steve Ullrich 

The most important quality is to “be themselves” 

Don’t try to be like another one. It doesn’t work: find things of ourselves is better to 

use on chair 

Why do we have bad matches? 

─ No concentration in that moment 

─ Focus on something else (distraction) 

─ Too confident with a match, prejudging the match 

─ Paranoia 

─ Physically not ready for the match 

─ Get nervous (doing something for the first time) 

─ Arrogant (not showing respect to the players) 

─ Congratulate yourself about a decision (maybe after you make a mistake, and 

is that one that people still remember) 

There are 2 kind of nervousism: the 1 st one paralyzes you, and the 2 nd one prepares you 

better; 

Have a positive thinking, always be prepared to do chairs (you never know); 

Knowing the rules helps you on court: players can forget anything, but they don’t 

accept if you don’t know the rules. 

SOME VIDEOS 

1. US Open 2005 (Hewitt – Acasuso) 

Line umpire unsighted, and we are not sure about the ball (far side line). What do you do? 

Action: Replay the point. 

2. Wimbledon (Hewitt – Dent) 

Overrule on base line. The CU announces “replay the point”, but he realizes it was a 

winner. 

You normally cannot change a decision after a player’s appeal, but if you realize you 

missed something about a fact (the player played the ball or we was on the ground), you 

can change your decision. Instead if a player’s appeal is based on a judgement (player says 

that his opponent was far away, or he could have a chance to play the ball), you cannot 

change your decision (about a “Fact – Fact” you can change your decision; about a 

“Judgement” you cannot). 

219

3. Australian Open (Schuttler – Agassi) 

Overrule on base line: the CU was arguing with both players 

SUGGESTION: Don’t argue with the player who is not looking for anything. 

Another event back to back: Cyclops beep during motion of the 2 nd service. 

Action: 1 st service 

2 nd bad call of same line umpire (base). 

Don’t change him immediately, wait for the next change over (if not the attention is 

on him) 

4. Australian Open (Henin – Clijsters) 

Overrule in favour of Henin, after she pointed her finger. 

SUGGESTION: at the change over tell to the player: “Can you do me a favour? Do 

you mind if not to point with your fingers during calls? So we don’t give her the 

impression I call lines with you” 

Segue un sermone su come, quando e se fare overrule. I punti principali: 

Overrule is not an instinct but a choice: ask to yourself: “Am I good overruling that 

one?”. If is too close, we take the risk not to be consistent. 

If you overrule before in the match, you can do even at the tie-break of the 3 rd set; if 

you didn’t, NEVER do it at a crucial moment of the match (“is this a right 

moment?”, “Can I be consistent?”) 

Don’t be too quick with overrules: there’s nothing worst than a bad overrule!!! 

ELECTRONIC REVIEW SYSTEM (CHALLENGE) 

Viene mostrato un video sulla prima esperienza di utilizzo del “Challenge” all’Hopman 

Cup. Si constata che è un sistema ottimo nel tennis, che segue lo stesso principio della 

BMI (quasi sempre è più veloce di una normale BMI). Si discute ancora se va limitata 

oppure no: secondo Mike, come non sono limitate le BMI che possono essere richieste, 

non andrebbero limitate le richieste del “Challenge”. Secondo l’ATP, invece, va posto 

un limite: è già operativa, per quest’anno, un limite di 2 richieste di “Challenge” per set, 

più una supplementare in caso di Tie-break. Nel caso si giocasse un doppio, con il 

Deciding Match Tie-break al set finale, esso conterebbe come un normale set (di 

conseguenza solo richieste di “Challenge” sono concesse. 

CLAY COURT PROCEDURES (SOME VIDEOS) 

5. Davis Cup 

The CU checks a different mark. After this, he realizes he made a mistake and which 

mark was, but is too late!!!! Here there is a very good body language of the CU, because 

everybody got he realized the mistake, but you cannot change your decision. 

SUGGESTIONS: 

Don’t ask to the LU to point the mark if you are still running: this is to avoid to 

have like a meeting with him on the mark; 

220

Day 2 – Afternoon 

When a decision is made, everything after this, is considered like a player’s 

appeal; 

It is a good answer “That’s what I had” or “I thought it was that one”; 

Once you have decided don’t look at the mark again. 

DAVIS CUP AND FED CUP 

Il pomeriggio inizia con alcune domande fatte da Stefan su Davis e Fed Cup. In particolare 

si mettono in evidenza le differenze con i Circuit events. 

PARTISAN CROWD: we discuss later about this during videos; 

ROLE OF CAPTAIN: 

a) he can talk to players at change of ends; 

b) he has a particular violation schedule; 

c) he cannot go and check the mark with the CU; 

d) in Davis/Fed Cup he is a part of the team, but if he does 

something very bad, we don’t penalize the whole team; 

e) if we remove him, he should be out of the court’s area; 

f) if he is removed, another player will substitute him; 

g) if he’s coaching at the wrong time, it a Code Violation for 

the team. 

DRESS CODE: 

a) National Association Team Sponsor (not all the companies, 

they don’t have to conflict with main sponsors); 

b) NO Lotto ATP line (Davis Cup); YES WTA Tour patch or 

Lotto WTA line (Fed Cup) if it doesn’t conflict with a ed 

Cup sponsor. It will be placed on the sleeve or front: NO on 

the cap! 

c) Team Identification rule; 

d) Writing is allowed both in Davis and in Fed Cup. 

HEAT RULE: they can do everything (coaching, treatments). 

CODE OF CONDUCT 

Inizia un sermone su come ci si debba comportare in quanto official. Essere puniti a causa 

di una violazione del “code for official” non è una cosa così rara. 

Think of all the time & effort you’ve put in to get your badge. An easy way to loose it is to 

be unprofessional. NO FLEXIBILITY! 

Seguono alcune scenette a cui siamo stati chiamati a prendere parte simulando situazioni di 

possibili violazioni del “code for official”, sia in qualità di arbitri che di supervisor (anche 

nei casi in cui il bronze badge resta come deputy per gli ultimi giorni). 

I. A white badge is always in late at a tournament. You are the supervisor. What do you 

do? 

221

II. An italian player and a CU are at a tournament in India. The only 2 italians. The 

player is inviting the CU to have dinner together. Like a CU what do you do? 

(domanda fatta a me). 

III. A bronze badge is criticizing the supervisor. As supervisor you know this. What do 

you do? (a good technique is to tell the official that the other CU think there is a 

problem between me and you; maybe they misunderstood). 

IV. The tournament director tells you (supervisor) that the designated bronze badge has 

his breath smelling alcohol. What do you do? (About any kind of complaining, is 

always better to find out what’s going on by yourself). 

Day 3 – Morning 

La giornata inizia con un’oretta dedicate al “question time” da parte degli students ai 

teachers prima del test finale. 

COACHING CHAIR UMPIRES 

The creation of a new document is in progress: how to coach chair umpires. 

Coaching is a more positive impression than evaluating. 

The supervisor should coach the bronze badge; the bronze badge should coach the 2 white 

badges and the white badge should coach the national umpires. 

It is important to watch many matches as possible. 

“Coaching” is a 2 ways process: we expect people coached also asking things happened 

during matches but not noticed from the coach. 

Make yourself available when your coach is available. 

When, in different weeks, you are coached from different coaches, you learn more. 

At the beginning of the week, the coach should advice the CU that he will be coaching 

him and that the coach is here to help the CU. 

How do we coach? 

if in his 1 st match you have watched you notice, for example, 15 mistakes, the 1 st 

time you talk to the CU, we tell him just 1 of these things (the most important); 

the 2 nd time tell him 2 or 3 positive things, plus another one thing not good; 

then check another match, if the CU fixed the thing you noticed him, then move to 

the next important thing, and when he fixed the other one, then move again to 

another one, step by step (is like with players: we don’t say what we want, but what 

is better for them how to hear this: so tell to the CU what is useful for him, not for 

you!); 

222

when watching matches, don’t be so visible (you can add pressure): they need to feel 

like they have someone on their side and not someone waiting to criticize them; 

give him regular feedbacks, positive and “new messages”. 

2 good rules to follow: 

1) everything you talk about with CU should be written into the “Observations” boxes. 

The “General Comments” is a summary. Always start with something positive 

(“good tournament or week”; “we talked about a lot of issues”; “he improved”; “just 

a couple of things to improve”). The conclusion should be something motivating. 

2) always talk in a positive (constructive) manner like: “he needs to continue working”, 

“try to work on”, “continue to…”. This is to let him easily accept the message. 

When you write down the evaluation, they should know what is written: se it them by email; 

if the final rating is “1” or “2”, give them also an hard copy before they leave the 

tournament (and after their last match!!!). 

RATING 

There’s no different way to evaluate white badge or a national umpire. 

Always start with a “3”: if something important happens, go up to “4” (or “5”), or go down 

to “2” (or “1”). 

How to get “4”. 

Good match control, good application of code violations, knowledge of rules, 

overrules, handle all the BMI in the match, good communication to players. 

How to get “2”. 

Technique problems, match control problems, not using the code, losing control, 

not knowing the rules. 

How to get “5” or “1”. 

Occasionally just one thing can change the “3” to a “5” or to a “1”. 

Cases of immediate default: it can be “5”; 

Violating code of officials: it can be “1”. 

When the supervisor I not requesting you to coach, then mention him. 

La giornata continua con alter cenette solamente per alcuni di noi. 

h. 12.00: 1 ora a disposizione per pranzare. 

223

h. 13.00: Final Test!!! Il test è formato da 70 multiple choice questions + 10 open questions. 

Durante il test finale, uno per volta si viene chiamati per un’interrogazione orale con Mike o 

Stefan (sono 6 domande, all’interno delle quali pongono un’altra domanda). 

My oral questions (I remember just 4 questions): 

1) Service. Ace. The loser complains for a “net”. He asks to the server if he heard it, and he 

agrees it was “net”. What do you do? Which is your decision”? 

2) Tough match. One player smash on the other one. What do you do? Later in the match, 

the other player gives back the “favour”. They start to use hard words against each other 

and they comes to the net to have a fight. What do you do? 

3) A player received a MTO for cramps. The next change over he receives the 1 st treatment. 

We are now at 2-2, 30-30 and he falls down in pain. What do you do? If he asks for the 

trainer, what do you do? The trainer stats he’s not treatable, but he’s not ready in 30 

seconds, what do you do? You assess also a game penalty. Can he receive the 2 nd 

treatment now? 

4) A line umpire follows a player to the toilet. Player starts talking in another language to 

his coach. Then he comes to you to report it. What is your discussion with the line 

umpire? What do you do then? If you call the referee, what do you tell him? 

Dopo circa un paio d’ore, si rientra in aula: tutti sono trepidanti. Mike inizia col ringraziare 

tutti, che la scuola è stata difficile e che non per tutti questa sarà l’ultima scuola. Chi l’ha 

passata è semplicemente perché lo ha meritato. Nulla è stato regalato. 

Iniziano a distribuire le buste…. Tutti sanno che se è più pesante è perché dentro si troverà 

il badge… arriva la busta, la tocchi, 

224

APPENDICE 3: ALCUNI CONSIGLI PRATICI PER LE PRESCUOLE E LE 

SCUOLE 

Cari lettori, 

alla fine di questo lungo “viaggio” durato tredici anni forse siete un po’ più preparati di 

prima ed avete un ‘idea di ciò che troverete nei fogli davanti a voi sia nelle pre-scuole che 

nelle scuole vere e proprie. 

Tuttavia, allo scopo di meglio affrontare le une e le altre sono stati aggiunti alcuni 

suggerimenti pratici, consapevole che l’alto tasso di promozioni registrato da quando esiste 

il sistema delle pre-scuole deriva dalla nostra capacità di renderle il più possibile simili alle 

scuole vere e proprie. 

Tutto ciò che segue è frutto di esperienze reali da parte dei vari allievi . 

In bocca al lupo!! 

MM 

- PUNTUALITA’: Non arrivate mai in ritardo. Se dovete prendere un aereo 

prendetelo il giorno prima della scuola, anche se questa inizia alle 11.00 del mattino 

e voi potreste risparmiare una notte in hotel partendo con il volo delle 8.00 per 

arrivare alle 9.00. Non rischiate!! Che succede se il vostro volo ritarda o viene 

cancellato? Inoltre, se partite il giorno prima e ci sono più voli disponibili, per lo 

stesso motivo di cui sopra, non prendete mai l’ultimo volo. 

- BAGAGLIO: Mettete nel bagaglio a mano tutto ciò che vi serve per la scuola (libri, 

appunti, etc, etc). Se vi perdono il bagaglio principale almeno avrete tutto ciò che vi 

occorre per sopravvivere. 

- ORDINE E PULIZIA: Non presentatevi mai sciatti, trasandati, in blue jeans o con 

la barba non fatta. Dareste di voi un’immagine brutta in partenza, difficile da 

recuperare successivamente. 

- NON FATE I FENOMENI: Rispondete solo alle domande che vi fanno. Non 

cercate di far vedere a tutti i costi che siete bravi ed avete studiato. E se poi invece 

sbagliate la risposta? Che figura ci fate? 

- NON CONTRADDITE GLI ISTRUTTORI: Anche loro sbagliano. Ma se li 

contraddite in pubblico, magari facendo loro vedere il libro dove secondo voi hanno 

sbagliato, credete di fare una bella cosa? Ricordate che normalmente i vostri istruttori 

225

alle scuole hanno alle spalle migliaia di match sulla sedia o centinaia di tornei diretti 

e sono i migliori Full-Time al mondo! Abbiate rispetto !!! 

- NON COPIATE: La persona di fianco a voi potrebbe sbagliare 

- NON LASCIATE LA RISPOSTA IN BIANCO: Una risposta in bianco vale come 

una sbagliata e quindi tanto vale provarci. Almeno avete il 50 % di possibilità ! 

- NON DATE IL RISULTATO PER SCONTATO: Se avete l’impressione di aver 

fatto un brutto pre-test non scoraggiatevi. Avete 3 giorni per recuperare. Al contrario 

se lo avete fatto bene non montatevi la testa. L’errore grave è sempre dietro l’angolo. 

….e per ultimo….. 

STUDIATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
