To Club Members:

Quick Summary of Game Rules. These rules are enforced in NYURA tournaments!

1. All players must wear wrist cords at all times in the court, including warm-ups.

2. All players must wear lensed eyewear (over eyes) at all times in the court, including warm-ups.

3. The score or "second serve" must be called out before the start of the service motion.*

4. Serving before the receiver is ready is a fault serve. The receiver has only two methods of signaling "not ready":

        i) hold racquet over head level; ii) turn your back to the server.*

5. Neither the ball nor any part of either foot may extend beyond either line of the service zone when initiating the service motion. Stepping on, but not beyond, the service line is permitted.

6. If the server, or doubles partner, enters into the safety zone before the served ball passes the short line, it shall result in the loss of serve.

7. The receiver may not enter the safety zone until the ball bounces or crosses the receiving line.

8. Screen ball: Any ball (serve or rally) rebounding from the front wall so close to the body of the defensive player that it prevents the offensive player from having a clear view of the ball.

9. Avoidable Hinders:

     a) Failure to Move. A player does not move sufficiently to allow an opponent a shot straight to the front wall as well as a cross-court shot which is a shot directly to the front wall at an angle that would cause the ball to rebound directly to the rear corner farthest from the player hitting the ball;
     b) Stroke Interference. This occurs when a player moves, or fails to move, so that the opponent returning the ball does not have a free, unimpeded swing;
     c) Blocking. Moves into a position which blocks the opponent from getting to, or returning, the ball;
     d) Moving into the Ball. Moves in the way and is struck by the ball just played by the opponent;
     e) Pushing; f) Intentional Distractions; g) View Obstruction; h) Wetting the Ball; and
     i) Apparel or Equipment Loss.

* Server must check receiver for readiness and calls out the score before beginning the service motion. Failure to do so will result in a fault.
