Ref, prior to the match ALWAYS check the pressure in the game ball. I have had them be anywhere from 2-1/2 p.s.i. to 9 p.s.i. Also, you should have a handy ball pump in your reffing kit. That way you don't have to wait while someone else takes that ball to the PE office to put more air in it.

bigtoe, one of the requirements this year is that the umpire verify that the line-up is written correctly on the scoresheet. The bible for each team's line-up is the line-up sheet that each coach submitted. Currently, what the coach writes down on the line-up sheet is the gospel as far as each player's location on the court for the first serve goes. So you can either copy the lineup onto your umpire's line-up card from the line-up sheet submitted by each coach or use the line-up sheets to check the players' positions on the court at the start of each game.
