Referee is an amateur job, and there is no professional referee in sports except football. People who do referee work often do what they can for the cause of table tennis because of their love for table tennis. "Table tennis referee is a noble hobby. If you treat referees as a profession, you will starve to death "(quoted from Comrade Yao's speech at the Ninth National Referee Examination Training Class). In other words, people who serve as referees generally have their own jobs, and everyone is devoted to the cause of table tennis out of love. So first of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you for coming, and take this opportunity to wish you to continue to love our cause in the future, to make our national fortune last forever, and to do more work and do a good job for the national fitness in China.

Second, the professional requirements of table tennis referees

Table tennis referee business generally includes three aspects: rules and regulations theory, on-the-spot practice referee and lottery arrangement. The first two items are the basic skills of table tennis referees, and drawing lots is the basic skills of referees. Senior referees also need to master English on-the-spot and referee theory, referee theory and so on. As a table tennis referee in general local competitions, it is required to master the rules, know what is ok and what is not, and know how to judge or do when encountering problems.

Specifically, the referee must first make clear the requirements of the referee's work; Second, we should study the rules and understand them; Third, macro management and micro control; Fourth, we must clarify the basic responsibilities; Fifth, we should master the procedure of on-site referee skillfully; Sixth, there must be superb art on the spot; Seventh, we must have some experience in enforcing competition law; Eighth, we should pay attention to the development trend of table tennis and the update and change of rules. The referee must first clarify the responsibilities of the referee; Second, we should have the skills to deal with referee work; Third, we must master the workflow of the referee and know how to do each link; Fourth, learn the theory in the international referee manual and master the relevant spirit of ITTF Arbitration Commission.

Third, the basis of referee theory and practice

As far as China is concerned, the main basis for referees to master the theory of table tennis referee is the latest table tennis rules and the referee manual or related regulations promulgated by the Table Tennis Association. Some counseling materials issued by provincial and municipal sports commissions or individuals can be used for reference as long as they conform to the spirit of the rules, but it should be noted that these are not "blue books". Therefore, every referee should have a table tennis rule and pay attention to the changes and updates of the rules. For example, the latest big ball problem, 40 mm big ball will be officially used after the Olympic Games. If we don't know this as referees, we will be very passive in our work.

Four, about the management of ten referees
