Show answer
Answer
- C Only promptly, almost simultaneously with the mistake
- D In the case of a clear mistake by the Line Umpire
Explanation
Section II C 2: An overrule requires a clear mistake ("beyond any reasonable doubt") and must be made promptly. There is never an overrule on a close ball. Neither the Chair Umpire nor the Line Umpire may change a call because of a player's protest.
