Can it be a "let"??

[superlentivirus]

one of my friends asked me:

when serving, if my racket didn't hit the base of the shuttle first!
the umpire called a "fault",but the umpire pointed out "
9.1.3 the server�s racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle"
instead of the right one:"9.1.4 the server�s racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle"

in this situation,can I call the referee and asking for a "let"??


IMHO,I think it still be a "Fault"!!

what a question...

a fault is a fault is a fault...

one more question:
can I just say:" you didn't hit the base of the shuttle first! it's a fault"
rather than saying:"9.1.4 the server’s racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle"
do I have to point out the words in red exactly??

THX! ^^

no none will quiz you on the laws if you are an umpire, usually i just do the hand signal if the player doesnt understand i will just explain the problem to him no quoting required.
