Umpires

16 umpires were appointed by the FIH for this tournament. During each match, a video umpire was used to assist the on-field umpires in determining if a goal had been legally scored. The FIH also mandated that on a trial basis during the tournament, each team received the right to refer one decision made by an on-field umpire to the video umpire for assessment. Referrals were only permitted for decisions made within the 23 meter area relating to the award (or non-award) of goals, penalty strokes, and penalty corners. In the event that the referral was upheld, the referring team retained a right of further referral. *Christian Blasch (GER) *Ged Curran (SCO) *David Gentles (AUS) *Colin Hutchinson (IRL) *Hamish Jamson (ENG) *Kim Hong-lae (KOR) *Satinder Kumar (IND) *Andy Mair (SCO) *Raghu Prasad (IND) * Tim Pullman (AUS) *Marcelo Servetto (ESP) *Gary Simmonds (RSA) *Amarjit Singh (MAS) *Simon Taylor (NZL) *Roel van Eert (NED) *John Wright (RSA)
