In tennis, the main umpire is called the chair umpire (they sit in a chair high above the court so they can see the entire court well). In major tournaments, there are usually also line judges who stand behind each line on the court. The line judge calls when a ball is out, and the chair umpire may overrule any line judge's call. The umpire also calls the score after every point.

What are the officials called in badminton?
Tennis officials are referred to by their function during a tennis match. A tennis official who watches for "out" balls on the baseline would be referred to as a "baseline judge" or "line judge" or "line umpire" or "linesman". A linesman who watches for "out" balls during the serve may be referred to as the "service linesman/umpire". Though rarely used, anymore, a line judge who sits near the net to determine whether a served ball hits the net (i.e., a "net" or "let" call) is a "net judge". The "chair umpire" is the primary "line judge", and may overrule the other linesmen. There is also a tennis official called a "(tournament or court) supervisor", who is only seen when there is a problem on the court, such as potentially bad weather, darkness, medical problems, or otherwise called on by the chair umpire or by a player, though it is very rare that this ever occurs. Generally speaking, the supervisor does not interfere with or overrule calls made by the chair umpire. In amateur USTA matches, a "Roving Umpire" or "Rover" performs all these duties, though he/she is intended to resolve problems or questions, not make line calls. For further information, refer to the 2009 USTA "Friend at Court" link, below.

What do line umpires do in tennis?
Line UmpireA line umpire stands at ready position, focusing on his assigned line.The Line Umpire "calls all shots relating to the assigned lines." Line umpires work on court as part of a team of between one and nine line umpires. Each line umpire is assigned by the chair umpire to one line or, in the case of a short handed crew, a position in a system. For example, a line umpire on the receiver's side may have to cover the center service line then, following the serve, move to one of the sidelines. Line umpires are a requirement for professional tennis games.The line umpire signals a ball out by making a verbal "out" call followed by the extension of the arm shoulder high in the direction the ball was out. A ball is signaled "safe" or "good" by holding both hands together knee high in front of the body.A line umpire who is unsighted and thus unable to call a shot (usually because a player obstructs his/her view) signals this by holding his/her hands beside his/her head, the upper side pointing in the same directing as the eyes; that call is then the chair umpire's responsibility
