2. INTRODUCTION
An official’s decision shall be final on all points of fact for which that official is responsible except that if:
In the opinion of the umpire, it is beyond reasonable doubt that a line judge has clearly made a wrong call, the umpire shall overrule the decision of the line judge.
An Instant Review System is in operation, the Referee shall decide on any line call challenge using the system.

3. INSTANT REVIEW SYSTEM
On a court where an Instant Review system is in operation a player/pair may challenge a Line-judges call, or the overrule call of an Umpire.

4. 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.
 On receiving the player’s challenge the Umpire will signal 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.

5. 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.
