TECHNICAL OFFICIALS

Technical Officials (TOs) are a critical part of badminton and they demonstrate our commitment to ensuring fair match play in accordance with the Laws of Badminton and the various competition regulations at major events. The co-ordination and management of Oceania TOs is the responsibility of the Badminton Oceania Technical Officials Committee (BOTOC).

Badminton Oceania has two levels of Referees and Umpires: Certificated (the top level) and Accredited and one level for Line Judges. Meanwhile, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) offer one level for Referees, Umpires and Line Judges and for the benefit of the Pacific Island nations, Badminton Oceania created two levels of Pacific Umpire qualifications.
