Umpiring is a great way to get involved with competitive badminton. An umpire has the authority over matches and is in charge of the court and its immediate surrounds. Umpires ensure matches are conducted in accordance with the Laws of Badminton, the rules and regulations of the BWF and any other regulations pertinent to the specific tournament.
