An umpire, for one, is an ARBITER, or someone who makes decisions and settles disputes. Umpires are commonly found in sports, where they are responsible for making sure the rules of the game are followed and that the game is played fairly. They also make calls on plays, such as whether a ball was caught or not, and can issue penalties to players for violations of the rules. Umpires also have a role in other areas, such as in legal proceedings, where they can act as a neutral third party to help resolve disputes.
