Distraction

Rules

IMMANUEL J Asked 7 years ago

Hi Alois,

I have 2 questions.

1 while playing doubles can the player claim distraction due to the opponents speech during the game. Instructing the fellow player during play.

2 If the bat falls during play is it a point for the opponent.

Thanks

Emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel,

You should talk during the point as it will probably be regarded as a distraction.

The bat is allowed to drop but you have to then pick it up before you hit the ball.

Left Handed Serve

We look at the difficulties faced by a left handed receiver facing a right handers serve and also a right handed receiver facing a left handers serve. What rules protect the receiver?

"You should talk during the point as it will probably be regarded as a distraction."

You mean "shouldn't" don't you Alois?
