    Very interesting! From this angle it's not visible, but am I right in assuming the front guy is an umpire, and the back guy technical support?

    Hmm, I didn't think to ask. I thought they were technicians who only decide in or out.

    They are not wearing umpire clothing. Every umpire/referee at this tournament must wear official uniform.

    yes, technicians that only operate & monitor the system. they have no decision making authority.
