Table Tennis does not have line judges.
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.
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.
Table tennis does not have a line judge.
It has an umpire and assistant umpire.
Where an umpire is officiating alone, his is the final decision on all questions of fact that arise during a match, including decisions on all edge balls and on all aspects of service.
Where there is an assistant umpire, he 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.

What is the purpose of an umpire in tennis?
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.
