GC Rules Quiz

The Quiz allows anyone to test their knowledge of the GC Rules by answering a series of questions with multi-choice answers. Having chosen an answer, you are immediately told whether your answer is correct, the correct answer with the reason for it, and a link to the relevant Rules. Your score is displayed throughout. To reset your score, click on the Quiz's Home button and then on the button at the bottom of the page entitled "Forget which questions I've answered and my score".

You may run the complete Quiz (118 questions) or select a smaller set by specifying the rules on which you wish to be tested. You can repeat the Quiz as often as you want.

The questions refer to level singles play unless it is stated otherwise, i.e. that the question is about doubles play or handicap play.

In singles, Bab owns Blue and Black and Ray owns Red and Yellow.

In doubles, Bab owns Blue and Ken owns Black. Ray owns Red and Yvonne owns Yellow.

GC Rules Theory Exam

The Theory Exam is a subset of the Quiz and is the required first stage of becoming a GC Referee. It consists of two Parts, each of which contains 50 questions with a pass mark of 94% (47/50). Part 1 contains questions on Rules 7 to 13 (scoring a point, offside balls, interference and errors). Part 2 contains questions on the rest of the Rules and relevant parts of the WCF Refereeing Regulations.

You must pass both Part 1 and Part 2 to pass the Theory Exam. When you do so, you become eligible to attend a One-Day Course to be trained and examined on On-Court procedures and to take a short test on the most common situations encountered in play (the "Basic Test" which consists of 20 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 30 minutes). If you pass both the On-Court Test and the Basic Test, you become a GC Referee immediately.

Click on the appropriate button below to start taking either Part 1 or Part 2. You are recommended to read the Introduction at the start of each Part. Then start to answer the questions by clicking the "Continue" button.

You can take a break whenever you wish by clicking the Home button and your score will be preserved when you return.

If you have given too many wrong answers, you can start that Part afresh by clicking the "Abandon the exam in progress" button. If you have already passed the other Part, that will not be affected.

When you start the Part again, please be aware that the questions will appear in a different order and the four possible answers to each question will also appear in a different order.
