In 'Pro' Shuttlecock or Badminton games there would be an umpire or service judge to 'call' or make the final decision as to whether the shuttlecock fell inside our outside of the court.

The umpire can use her discretion when deciding whether to overrule any call made by a line judge or service judge. The line judges call the shuttlecock "in" or "out," and the service judge calls any service faults committed by the players.
