The FIVB Refereeing Delegate is responsible for all Refereeing issues and reports to the FIVB Technical Supervisor. The FIVB Refereeing Delegate will work to instruct, facilitate the work of and provide feedback to officials working in various capacities.
REFEREES also work under close co-ordination with the Refereeing Manager at a given event. Together with the Host TV Broadcaster, Promoter and other Officials, REFEREES must also ensure that production and organisational needs of television are met. These include match protocol, TV replays, official photographer and TV camera positions on the field of play.
Although Beach Volleyball is a modality of Volleyball, there are fundamental differences in the playing numbers, techniques of the players, match formats and nature of the conditions, which guide the differences in the rules between these two games. Therefore, there are REFEREEING techniques, interpretations, protocols and situations, which are different. REFEREES must understand these clearly.
In conclusion, REFEREES not only have to perform their duties and direct the match according to the rules and it’s spirit, but their REFEREEING performance is also governed by contributing factors such as health (physical and mental), legal factors (health and safety laws, drug testing and Referees’ Ethics Code) and social factors which are not purely technical in nature.
REFEREES should always remember that they are not only there to officiate, they are also a teacher, promoter and administrator and may be required to assist the Referee Delegate if requested. They in this way have a delegated responsibility to act in the best interests of the FIVB and its various stakeholders. REFEREES should be closely aware of these factors, conduct their duties, following ethical considerations both on and off the court, while also directing the match accordingly under the rules.
