Origin of the word touch judge

The term "touch judge" originated in rugby league, a variation of rugby football that originated in England in the late 1800s. In rugby league, as in rugby union, scrums and lineouts are used to restart play after certain types of stops in play. However, in rugby league, these restarts are much more complex than in rugby union. This complexity created a need for additional officials to help oversee these situations and ensure that the rules were followed correctly. During stoppages for scrums and lineouts, two touch judges were appointed to watch from the touchline (the sidelines) and ensure that the ball was not handled deliberately by either team. They were also responsible for deciding whether a player's foot was accidentally in touch during play or whether a player was in front of or behind the touchline when kicking the ball. The touch judges communicated their decisions to the referee by holding up an appropriate number of fingers, with one finger representing the four-meter touchline and two fingers representing the ten-meter touchline. The term "touch judge" became a part of rugby league's nomenclature and has since been adopted by other sports, such as American football, which employ similar assistant referees to monitor the sidelines of the field. In summary, the origin of the term "touch judge" can be traced back to the unique restart situations in rugby league, where two officials were needed to ensure compliance with the rules during complex stopping scenarios.
