PLAYER CHALLENGE
 The challenge must be made immediately the shuttle has
landed and the call made, and before the commencement of
the serve for the next rally.

the Referee who will review the line call using the Instant
Review system.
 If the call by the line-judge or overrule by the Umpire is
deemed incorrect, the players challenge is successful, and
the decision by the line-judge or Umpire is reversed.

LOSING THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE
 A player/pair has two rights to challenge line calls during the
duration of the match.
 If a call, after review, is deemed correct then the player/pair
loses one right to challenge.
 If the player/pair is deemed to have incorrectly challenged
twice then they lose any further right to challenge during the
match.
 If the player/pair’s challenge is successful they retain the
right to challenge and do not lose it.
