CHAIR UMPIRE. The chair umpire fifa 15 coins xbox is the person who is in charge of keep- ing
score during a match and can overrule a linesperson’s call of in or out. The
chair umpire usually sits in a chair raised about 10 feet off the ground on the
side of the net. The umpire will introduce the players, supervise a coin toss or
racket spin for choice of first serve, and announce the score prior to each
point played. The umpire is also responsible to ensure that the rules of tennis
are properly followed and may penalize a player for failure to do so. Both males
and females have umpired matches of the opposite sex. Tennis officiating was
originally an unpaid job, but in recent years, a level of profes- sionalism has
been sought, and umpires are paid. The United States Tennis Association
certifies tennis officials. See also REFEREE.
CHALLENGE. At some venues, in recent years, an electronic system (known as
Hawk-Eye) records each point played. A player may challenge a line call, and a
computer video simulation is then used to determine whether the call was
correct. Players are generally allowed three incorrect challenges per set, with
an additional challenge should the set require a tiebreaker.
CHALLENGE ROUND. In some tournaments, such as Wimbledon and Davis Cup, the
previous year’s winner was exempt from competing in the preliminary tournament
rounds and would face the winner in a challenge round for the championship.
Wimbledon used this system through 1921 and Davis Cup through 1971.
CHALLENGER TOUR. The Challenger fifa 15 coins pc Tour is a lower-level series of tour- naments
sponsored by the United States Tennis Association. Prize money is usually quite
modest. Players on the tour are generally ones that have not recorded much
success on the regular tour and are either new to the game or veterans
attempting to come back from injury. Venues are generally low key, often just
public parks, and admission prices are also quite inexpensive. They generally
provide the greatest bargain in tennis as a fan can see top-quality ten- nis
with excellent seats at minimal cost. An example is the annual Challenger event
played in Binghamton, New York, the second week of August since 1994. Tickets
are free for the two days of qualifying, just $3 per day for the first four days
of the tournament and just $6 per day for the quarterfinals, semi- finals, and
finals. Players who have participated in recent years have included Andy Murray,
James Blake, Mark Philippoussis, and Ivo Karlovic´.
