If the umpire does not ask for help no other umpire should interfere with the call.

Why does a tennis umpire sometimes award a point to a correct challenge but sometimes orders a replay?
It is at the umpire's discretion as to whether or not a point is replayed following a challenge. If the umpire feels that the incorrect call made by the linesperson effected the player about to hit the ball, the point is replayed. If the umpire feels that the player would not have been able to get to the ball anyway, then the point is awarded to the other player who challenged correctly. However, because this is the umpire's opinion, players frequently argue that the point should be replayed/awarded directly to them depending on the circumstances.

What is Unfair subjective umpiring?
This just refers to the fact that umpire are different. Maybe one umpire will call it a strike if any part of the ball is over the plate, but another umpire will only call it a strike if more than 50% of the ball passes over the plate, for example. Some umpires widen their strike zones for veterans and narrow them for rookies; perhaps if a pitcher has a perfect game with 2 outs and 2 strikes, one umpire will call a ball that is slightly outside a strike to help the perfect game happen, while another one will just call it as he sees it.
What is basball timeout rule?
This is rule 5.10, which states, in essence, that the umpire shall call "time out" in certain situations. An important part of the rule is that no umpire shall call "time out" while play is in progress except in case of light failure or when an accident incapacitates a player or umpire. Also, commonly mis-understood, is that only an umpire can call time out; a coach or player can only "request" time out, which must be granted by the umpire before the time out actually occurs.
