1. Paralympic wheelchair tennis watching etiquette

"Respect for all people and things on the tennis court", which is the minimum code of conduct for players, but also the audience should do. In order to make the game better, Wimbledon, Australia, the U.S. and France have introduced relevant rules, although the regional humanities are different, but the requirements of the tennis audience is to reach **** knowledge. The rules are cumbersome but cannot be ignored, because it not only reflects the high quality of the audience, but also reflects the high quality of a country.

It is not difficult to be a tennis fan, but it is not too easy to be a qualified tennis audience, the audience not only need to be familiar with the complex rules of tennis, but also need to understand some of the agreed rules in the stands. Especially when watching wheelchair tennis matches, first of all, we should respect the athletes, but also respect the audience, because there will be many people with disabilities in the Paralympics to watch the game, people should help them, respect them.

Rucksacks must be screened for entry. Luggage is not allowed to be brought into the stadium, especially large items, but it can be left in the hands of a person or placed in a designated place for management. At major open tennis tournaments, spectators with backpacks must pass through a security gate before entering to make sure there are no dangerous items in the bag before being allowed to enter.

For the safety of players and spectators, glass bottles and canned beverages are not permitted on the courts, and only soft-packaged beverages are allowed on the courts during matches. Any supplies that could be used as weapons will be confiscated.

Some electronic communication devices are also not allowed to be brought into the stadium, including TVs, radios, computers and so on, as the noise from TVs and radios will affect the players' performance. Also babies cannot be brought into the venue as their voices cannot be controlled. Please be sure to turn off your cell phones and pagers or put them on vibrate while spectators are watching the game.

In short, try to follow the rules when entering the venue and do not bring any offending items to save yourself some unnecessary trouble as well as time.

Take your seat at the start of the match. In an odd-numbered set, both players need to change sides and take a short break, but after the first set, the players only change sides and cannot sit down, so the outside spectators are usually not allowed to enter the court at this time. At the end of an odd-numbered set or a set such as 3, 5, 7, etc., spectators should be seated as soon as possible with the help of an usher. If they have not found their seats at the start of the match, they should sit down and look for them at the next player changeover, and should not get up and walk back and forth at this time.

When watching a game in a stadium with bleachers, be sure to take your seat before the game starts, and don't linger in the aisles or sit on the railings to watch the game. When watching a game without spectator stands, be sure to watch from the outside of the netting and never enter the field of play.

If there are several courts playing at the same time, when you want to watch a game on another court, you must wait until one point of the game on that court has been completed before you walk through a less conspicuous area behind the netting, so as not to interfere with the game on any of the courts.

At the start of a match, be absolutely quiet, don't eat or talk to each other, and don't make noise. Be careful not to start cheering until one point of the game is actually finished.

No talking of any kind with the referee or players during the game, including inquiring about the score, disagreeing with a call, or hollering at a player in person.

Spectators who pick up a ball hit by a player must throw it into the field only after each point has been scored, and must not interfere with the game by throwing the ball into the field while the game is in progress.

If you are interested in filming the game, be aware that you should never use flash.

When watching a match, you should try to avoid carrying objects that make chirping sounds or turn them off. From the time a player starts to prepare to serve to the end of a point, it is best for spectators to refrain from talking, eating, shouting, cheering or applauding, as it is not only impolite, but can even interfere with the smooth running of the match.

Players should respect the audience, and the audience should also respect the players, should give equal support and encouragement to both players, such as a psychological preference for a player and do something unfavorable to the other side, such as applauding and so on, which is a little less tolerant and generous.

Players participating in the game, in the pre-match practice warm-up process, should regard the other side as equal participants with their own, and is obliged to provide assistance for the practice of the other side, any intention to hinder the practice of the other side of the practice is unseemly.

2. Blind Judo Etiquette

This is because in addition to strength, it also contains a large number of applied skills; the players need to have a strong body, but also need to have a very clear tactical thinking. Watching how the fighters subdue and control each other is what makes the sport so appealing.

Blind judo has a lot of complicated rules and pays more attention to the etiquette of the competitors than other sports. Both players salute each other before the start of a match, and there are strict on-court rules that must be followed during the competition. The winners of previous competitions have not only won in terms of skill, but also in terms of professionalism and respect for their opponents. The cheering of the audience is undoubtedly the best encouragement to the players. However, the insiders look at the doorway and the outsiders look at the scene, if in a match between the masters, did not see the excitement of the game, shouting good or even call down the good, it is really a big waste of time. The player who falls to the ground may not be the loser, and the one who attacks fiercely may not have the upper hand. In addition, due to the blind judo is specifically for visually impaired athletes set up for the competition. During a match, the competitors cannot see the hand signals made by the referee, and they rely mainly on their sense of hearing. Therefore, in addition to cheering for the athletes when watching the blind judo matches, it is important to keep quiet when the referee pronounces the sentence so as not to affect the athletes' matches.

Goalball for the Blind is a spectator sport. As the participating athletes are all visually impaired, and in the game all with blindfolds, the athletes rely solely on hearing to judge the direction of the ball, and then make defensive actions. Therefore, when watching the blind goalball game, due to the special characteristics of this sport, the audience must pay attention to the timing of cheering and applauding. During the game, the audience should keep absolutely quiet so as not to affect the judgment of the players on the field on the direction of the ball. And after the athletes score the audience then applaud and cheer is expressed to their encouragement. For example, the Athens Paralympics games let people feel the strong humanistic and civilized atmosphere. In the blind goalball game, when the game site needs to be quiet, volunteers will hold up a sign to the audience, the audience will be very cooperative, keep quiet; and when one side scored a goal, the scene will immediately play cheerful music, the audience will follow the music together with rhythmic cheering.
