Ball handling judgement should be left to the ref to adjudicate the whole of the match, not a particular contact. In/out judgement calls are all left to the officiating team who have Superior positioning. I'd limit my self -fault calling to only touches on the block or meet violations where you are the only one in a position to overturn short of instant replay. The timing or match situation should not factor into these decisions. If your opponent reciprocates, great! Fair play elevated! If you detect one on your opponent, and he doesn't call it, don't call anything on yourself for the rest of the match. If you make contact with a ball that goes out of bounds, and the referee doesn't detect, call it on yourself. If it's a lower level then that (as most of us are) and you are interested in elevating fair play, I advocate for a tit-for-tat approach. There are measures in place to keep very marginal judgement calls in check. I think that in a match where replay is available, I would never call something on myself. What are your thoughts on self-policing/calling faults on yourself?Įthically, unless the match is genuinely self officiated, you are NEVER obligated to call something against yourself. I would have felt like we didn’t deserve it. Personally I wouldn’t feel good if I hadn’t called it and we went on to win the game. We would have got the point had I not done that. I called a fault on myself when the game was 24-23 at a tournament - a hitter hit the ball out of bounds, but I felt it touch my fingers, and I called it without the ref asking me. You are setting a good example and may encourage other players to be honest. Just because others aren’t honest, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be / you should want an “honest” win. If you have committed a fault, your team doesn’t deserve the point The ref is probably missing faults on both sides. Most players will probably not call a fault on themselves, so you shouldn’t. Say in a situation where you hit a ball and score a point but felt your fingers touch the net, or where the opposing team hits the ball out of bounds, but you felt it touch your fingers on the block?Īrguments that support NOT calling yourself: Should we call faults on ourselves, especially in situations where we made a fault, but got a point? Where the ref didn’t notice… If you just want to brag about something or rant, look for fellow players, etc, use this flair. General - Posts that might not fit into any of the above catagories.
