Explanation of sanctions

The first referee has to give reasons why a penalty, expulsions or disqualifications has been applied. This is recorded under “Remarks”. The following order is preferred:

• set and score
• player
• team
• type of sanction
• reason

Example:

2nd set, 5:5, player #2 team A penalized due to equipment abuse (kicking the ball out of the court) without further consequences.

In Austria, the explanation can be recorded in German.
