Sunday, April 13. 2008Some Clarifications
Since I've entered the Utah County Corporate Games in Racquetball, I decided to brush up on the OFFICIAL rules. Here are some that we don't all play consistently:
Ball Hits Opponent. When an opponent is hit by a return shot in flight, it is a replay hinder. If the opponent is struck by a ball that obviously did not have the velocity or direction to reach the front wall, it is not a hinder, and the player who hit the ball will lose the rally. A player who has been hit by the ball can stop play and make the call though the call must be made immediately [Note: There's no special provision for being hit while in the service box after server - this is a normal reserve.] During play, a player loses the rally if any one of the following occurs: 1. The ball bounces on the floor more than once before being struck. 2. The ball does not reach the front wall on the fly. 3. The ball flies into the spectator's gallery or wall opening or strikes an out-of-bounds surface above the court's normal playing area [cf. Rule 2.1(a)].[7] 4. A slow ball with neither the velocity nor direction needed to strike the front wall strikes another player. 5. A ball struck by a player hits that player or that player's partner. 6. A penalized hindrance [cf. Rule 3.15]. 7. Switching racquet hands during a rally. 8. Not using a racquet wrist-safety cord. 9. Touching the ball with either the body or uniform. 10. Carrying or slinging the ball with the racquet. Trackbacks

I'll still win too. :P Ancient of Days on :
As I recall it, *I* won this week.
Radar on :
You - Me - One on One this Friday. We're playing for manhood now! And I shall become the Alpha-Male.
Ancient of Days on :
I have some bad news for you - I've already PROVEN _MY_ manhood...twice over, in fact.
However, you're on in a game for "alpha-malehood". Daboo on :
If you're playing for manhood, does that mean if I played I'd get manhood if I won? What a strange and mysterious sport you play!
Sideshow on :
Actually I got my first Victory this week.
Radar on :
And a fine victory it was. Thus begins our rise to a reign of domination and terror Sideshow.
