Private life

Zeynep Funda Teoman was born on March 30, 1984 to a father, who was a teacher of physical education. Her two older brothers are basketball referees.[1][2][3][4]

Sporting career

Teoman began with basketball playing already in her early age. However, she quit because she found herself not talented. As she did not want to come off basketball, she decided to become a referee. She began her career at the age of 15 serving as scorer and timekeeper. She successfully completed a course for officials at the age of 18. She officiated matches in minor level competitions as a C- and then B-category referee.[4] Still a B-category official, she debuted internationally at the 6th FIBA Europe International Basketball Camp for U15 Girls held in Postojna, Slovenia in 2012.[1]

She was promoted to A-category official, , the highest official position in the country. She became so one of the only three female pro basketball referees in Turkey along with Özlem Yalman and Ayşenur Yazıcıoğlu.[5][6][7] From the 2012–13 seas on, she is entitled to officiate in the Turkish Basketball Super League and Turkish Women's Basketball League.[4] In the 2014–15 season, she was relegated to B-category,[8] and in the 2016–17 season to C-category official.[7]

gollark: You don't need amazing visual quality on them, and if you can serve copies which are much smaller they'll load faster.
gollark: Netflix was looking at using it for movie posters in their applications.
gollark: There are plenty of applications where you can get away with "looks pretty much okay", too.
gollark: Well, you can ask people to not put irrelevant random images in, but they'll probably do it for some stupid reason, and it's good if they can at least be mildly more efficient about it.
gollark: There's JPEG-XL or something, which will apparently allow *lossless* higher-efficiency representation of existing JPEGs. Very exciting.
