Umpires are responsible for managing the game by enforcing its rules and maintaining fairness.
The umpire must intervene to prevent escalation, ensuring the game remains controlled and safe.
A coin toss is commonly used to determine initial possession, followed by a whistle to start the game.
Warnings are given for unsportsmanlike behavior, with penalties or ejections following if the behavior persists.
Player safety is paramount; the umpire should stop play as soon as it is safe to do so.
