　　Q: A player wishes to lift his ball to determine if it is unfit for play, but his opponent, marker or fellow-competitor is not readily available. May a referee or a member of the Committee fulfill the responsibilities of the opponent, marker or fellow-competitor in the relief procedure under Rule 5-3?

　　A: Yes. However, every effort should be made to have the opponent, marker or fellow-competitor fulfill his responsibilities under Rule 5-3. A referee or a member of the Committee should only become involved if the opponent, marker or fellow-competitor is not readily available. The same ruling would apply if a player wishes to lift his ball for identification (Rule 12-2) or to determine if it is in a hole made by a burrowing animal (Rule 25-1) or if it is embedded (Rule 25-2).

　　问：一名球员希望捡起球来决定是否它已经不适合被用来比赛，但他的对手、记分员或同组球员不能迅速到场表态。这时裁判或委员会的成员可以履行对手、记分员或同组球员的职责，并按照规则5-3的程序移球吗？

　　答：是的。不过，每一个动作都应该让对手球员、记分员或同组球员按照规则5-3履行他的职责。如果他的对手球员、记分员或同组球员不能迅速到场，那裁判或委员会的成员应该只是成为相关人。如果球员捡起球想辨认球（规则12-2），或者球落到了动物制造的坑穴里（规则25-1）或者球陷入了地面，他也得依照规则5-3同样的程序申请。
