(_e_) To adjust hoops or pegs or to see that they are properly adjusted (_vide_ Law 33). (_f_) To inform the striker when he is about to play or has played out of turn, or with the wrong ball, or when he has made a wrong point. With the exception of the instances named in clause (_f_), an umpire shall not draw attention to, or give his opinion on, any mistake made unless appealed to by one of the players. The decision of an umpire on a question of fact shall be final, but on a question of law, if required by a player, he must appeal to the referee. 36. _Absence of Umpire._--When no umpire is present permission to move a ball or to set up a peg or hoop, or any other indulgence for which an umpire would be appealed to, must be asked of the other side. PRIZE MEETINGS, HANDICAPS, ETC. A committee must be appointed and a referee. They will issue a programme announcing the details of the matches, size of grounds, width of hoops, amount due for entry, date of the draw, hour of the match play. ENTRIES. No entry shall be valid unless the entrance money is paid by such date as the committee appoint. THE DRAW. This is now conducted as in lawn tennis, the byes being got rid of in the first round. If the number of players should be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or any higher power of 2, there are no byes. If on the other hand the number of players is not a power of 2 (let us say 19) matters are arranged after this fashion. The names of the players are drawn out of a hat and written down in order. To ascertain how many of these shall be byes subtract the number of players from the next highest power of 2 (19 from 32), which gives us 13. Of these, half go to the top of the list, the other half with the odd one to the bottom. Winners. Winners. Winners. First Second Third Semi-finals. Finals. Round. Round. Round.
