Help to Enforce New Rules by Azmy Ibrahim

(By Azmy Ibrahim)

The purpose of this article is to help the OFFICIALS, THE REFEREES, THE UMPIRES, THE COACHES, AND THE PLAYERS, to apply the new rules while performing the games of the Table Tennis Sport.

THE ARM SIGNALS

The new rule enforces the umpire:

* to raise the arm to the level of the shoulder

* to the side of the body

* with a right angle at the elbow, 90 degrees.

That means no part of the arm will be in front of the body, it has to be at the side of the body.
It has to be at the LEVEL of the shoulder.
The simple way to describe it is to look at it as an (L) form on the side of the body of the umpire.
