The second referee assists the first referee but also has his own specific rights and duties. If the first referee is not able to continue his work, the second referee has to take his place.
The second referee authorizes and supervises interruptions (time-outs, court-switches). If necessary, he checks the balls during the match. He also checks the work of the scorers during the match and, if necessary, supports them. Furthermore, he is in control of the players’ benches.
