THE RULES OF SQUASH RACKETS
SINGLES GAMES
1. The
Game, How Played.—The game of Squash Rackets is
played between two players with standard rackets, with balls bearing
the standard mark of the S.R.A. and in a rectangular court of standard
dimensions enclosed on all four sides.
2. The Score.—A match shall consist of the best of three or five
games at the option of the promoters of the Competition. Each game
is 9 up: that is to say, the player who first wins 9 aces wins the game,
except that, on the score being called 8 all for the first-time, hand-out
may, if he chooses, before the next service is delivered, set the game to
2, in which case the player who first scores 2 more aces wins the game.
Hand-out must in either case clearly indicate his choice to the marker,
if any, and to his opponent.
NOTE
To
REFEREES.—If
hand.-out does not make clear his choice
before the next service, the referee shall stop play and require him to do so.
3. Aces, How Scored.—Aces can only be scored by Hand-in.
When a player fails to serve or to make a good return in accordance
with the rules, his opponent wins the stroke. When Hand-in wins a
stroke, he scores an ace: when Hand-out wins a stroke he becomes
Hand-in.
4.
The
Right to
Serve.
—The right to serve first is decided by the
spin of a racket. Thereafter the server continues to serve until he loses
a stroke, when his opponent becomes the server, and so on throughout
the match.
5. Service.—The ball before being struck shall be thrown in the air
and shall not touch the walls or floor. The ball shall be served on to
the front wall so that on its return, unless volleyed, it would fall to the
floor in the quarter Court nearest the back wall and opposite to the
