The game is played within a 20’ x 40’ room. 1.3 Objective The objective is to win each rally by serving or returning the ball so the opponent is unable to keep the ball in play. A rally is over when a player is unable to hit the ball before it touches the floor twice, is unable to return the ball in such a manner that it touches the front wall before it touches the floor, or when a hinder is called {A "hinder" is an unintentional interference from the player making a return, that impedes the ability of the receiving player to make a return. This results in a replay.}. 1.4 Points and Outs Points are scored only by the player serving. A point is scored when the server serves an unreturnable legal serve, or wins the rally. If the server loses the rally, no points are scored and the other player now becomes the server (known as a "side out"). A legal serve: The server must take a position completely within the serving box, bounce the ball on the floor, and strike the ball before the ball contacts the floor a second time. The server’s feet must remain in the box until the ball has crossed the back service line (note that it is permissible for the server’s foot to cross the front service line during the serve, so long as the foot is still in contact with the line). The served ball must then contact the front wall first, then travel beyond the back service line before bouncing on the floor. Note that if the ball contacts anything other than the front wall, the server loses the serve. Optionally, the ball my contact either sidewall after contacting the front wall, but never more than one wall before it bounces beyond the back service line. The server gets two chances to make a legal serve. If the player fails to make a legal serve, no points are scored and the serve exchanges to the other player. The receiving player must strike the ball before it bounces a second time on the floor. Otherwise, a point is scored to the server. Note the receiver may strike the ball before it bounces on the floor. 1.5 Match, Game A match consists of 3 complete games to 15. The first player to reach 15 is declared the winner and the game is over. If time expires before the last game has completed, the player with the most points is declared the winner,	N E W S Registration is Now Open for Summer Leagues by: Joe posted: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 The next session (Spring/Summer ’12) will begin Monday, May 7th with a registration deadline of Sunday, May 6th, 2012.
