Table tennis yellow card rules

I remember the match between the Korean women's team and the Hungarian women's team at the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships. French international Barrow, who was the referee, showed the yellow card to Korean player Park Hae-kyung and then quickly walked to the penalty box to show the yellow card to the Korean coach outside the field. A serious face.

Table tennis was originally a game without red and yellow cards because it was agreed that there would be no direct physical contact between players in this game. However, as the game of table tennis has evolved, it has become apparent that various irrationalities can occur in the absence of physical contact. For example, some players intentionally stomp their feet, shout to disturb their opponents, refuse to listen to the referee, etc. This led to the emergence of the red and yellow card system in the table tennis system.

The international rules of the game have specific provisions for red and yellow cards: players deliberately influence their opponents, delay the game, deliberately damage equipment, offend spectators, insult referees, etc. The provisional referee first warns the athlete.

As soon as possible after the athlete is warned, the referee shows them the yellow and red cards and awards a point to the opponent. For a second foul, the referee may award two points and show the opponent a yellow and red card.

Any second foul or serious foul can be interrupted by the referee and reported to the Chief Referee. When an athlete is disqualified, the referee will show a red card. When an athlete is shown a red card twice by the referee in a team or individual event, he/she will be automatically disqualified from participating in the team or individual event.

Off-field coaches who are not legally qualified to coach or coach athletes outside of the allotted time will also be warned by the referee. A formal warning shall result in a yellow card, and dismissal of the coach from the field shall result in a red card.

Since red and yellow cards in table tennis do not occur as often as in soccer, the reasons for them are mostly due to players deliberately stalling and referees failing to serve the ball three times, such situations do not exist. Intense. Table tennis red and yellow cards are of less concern.

After all, red and yellow cards in table tennis regulate the behavior of players and coaches and play an invaluable role in maintaining the health of the game. Some rules are well suited to make a better game!
