refnrev,

What I do when my partner is busy watching the serve and following the ball is to call them over to the stand during the first time-out we have or between games (if I can't do it earlier). Then, I let them know gently that we are both NOT being paid to watch the server and the ball, that the umpire's responsibility is the receiving team during the service and the center line/net during play.
