Training of officials
The referees must judge if a shuttle has landed inside or outside of the court. Anywhere from two to 10 volunteers are typically present to stand at the lines and assist the referee in making these calls accurately. Referees are responsible for being fair to both sides of the court, and ensuring that all rules and guidelines, as they have been given to them by the league director, are being followed. If a referee is found to be favouring one side, and making biased, unfair calls to one team or the other, that referee may be subject to termination, and never allowed to referee badminton again. http://www.ehow.co.uk/list_6659144_badminton-referee-rules.html
