Jai Alai rules for judges
There are three judges supervising Jai Alai match: a frontcourt judge, a backcourt judge and a center court judge. They sit at the side of the court. The main judge who is a center court judge is positioned at the 7th line. The front court judge is situated opposite to lane 4 and backcourt judge is at lane 11. If during the game one or more rules of the game are violated one or more judges can stop the game and make an appropriate call. In case of a questionable call a center court judge has an authority to make a final call. However if both frontcourt and backcourt judges disagree with the decision of the main judge they can overrule his decision. Jai Alai judges must carry protection against flying balls. The public is protected from the flying balls by the wire net along the side of the court. The players waiting their turn must sit in the protected area close to the back wall.
