What is the duty of tournament referee?

Answer 1

The match referee is responsible for handling disciplinary matters. He has the power to fine a player for arguing with the umpires or expressing dissent.

His role is to offer a ball when the two umpires on the field ask for one.

His responsibility is to make sure that the match toss is done in the correct way.

Answer 2

If you're refering to the umpire who stands to the side and in line with the batter's crease, he is there for run out appeals at that end.
More and more these days, however, the 3rd umpire (Who isn't on the pitch, and is the person who uses technology to review decisions for the on pitch umpires.) is used for this decision for more reliable results.

--I------I-- <-- This is the pitch

^this is the crease.
* Here is the 'leg umpire'.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Well, he decides weather it is out or not, he also looks for no balls and wides. He also look for run outs, extras, fours and sixes.

P.s He is not called the referee he is called the umpire

Answer 5

In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere meaning not a peer, i.e. not a member of one of the teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority to make judgements on the cricket field, according to the laws of cricket. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wicketsand general conduct of the game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over.

A cricket umpire is not to be confused with the referee who usually presides only over international matches and makes no decisions affecting the outcome of the game.
