Heute beginnt die U17 WM. Lohnt sich vielleicht mal reinzuschauen, da es drei SR geben wird. Bin auf die Aufgabenteilung gespannt.
Three referees on the court: With the new rules implemented over the last decade, handball has definitely grown, but so has the challenge for these rules to be correctly overseen by the referees. A referee’s job is to apply the rules fairly and create a fair-play environment on the court while taking over hundreds of decisions in a single match. Therefore, the IHF has resorted to using three referees on the court, with the 2022 IHF Men’s Club World Championship being the first competition where the system was introduced. In 2025, the three-referee project has also been used for the entire 2025 IHF Men’s Emerging Nations Championship and in the President’s Cup at the 2025 IHF Men’s Youth World Championship.
