A match umpire's primary duty is to decide the result of each rally.

He is also required to exercise judgment in applying some laws and regulations, such as deciding whether a rally should be a let because a player's service or return may have been affected by circumstances outside the player's control, or whether a player's behaviour is acceptable.

An assistant umpire is solely responsible for decisions on edge balls at the side of the table nearest to him, and he has the same power as the umpire to decide the legality of a player's service action, whether a player obstructs the ball and some of the conditions for a let.

Some of the most important things the assistant could do, that I can think of, is:

1) Keep a small supply of Official Game Balls (4 to 6; already OK'd by the umpire) handy (or in your pocket), in case the players have to be given a replacement ball -- the umpire will let you know when to give a new ball "to the umpire" or "to the players".

2) Set-up -- to prepare for the match: a chair for the umpire and/or yourself; table(s) and/or net(s) for the players; ball barrier (so ball stays in boundary for players at their tables -- barrier is usually only about 2 feet high) .

3) Most importantly, turn/flip score-cards every time a point is scored by the players;
this usually requires you to watch for very closely for a signal from the umpire every time a point is scored in a game; and then to flip the game-card whenever a game is won (so observers can see which player is winning the match).

For example, the assistant would sit a few feet away from one end of the net and the umpire would sit facing the assistant on the other end of the net -- while the 2 players are playing at their usual ends of the table. That puts 1 person on each of the 4 sides of the table; the assistant, the umpire and the 2 players. The umpire watches the players and the ball, while the assistant ONLY watches for signals from the umpire; the umpire should let the assistant know, before the game begins, what type of hand (or verbal) signals he will give to the assistant (for flipping score-cards or giving him/her a new ball). The assistant does NOT usually fetch any balls in/out of play; the players will usually retrieve their own balls in/out of the play area -- unlike tennis which uses ball-fetchers.

Table Tennis does not have a line judge.

The top official is the Tournament Referee.

The role of a tournament referee differs widely from one Association to another and from one tournament to another.

At one extreme he or she is involved in every part of the organisation, from drafting the entry form to arranging the finals.

At the other extreme, the referee appears only on the day of the tournament solely to decide any question of rule interpretation.

For each match there is an umpire, whose primary duty is to decide the result of each rally.

He is also required to exercise judgment in applying some laws and regulations, such as deciding whether a rally should be a let because a player's service or return may have been affected by circumstances outside the player's control, or whether a player's behaviour is acceptable.
