point. However, the point shall be replayed if a player is hindered in playing the point by either an unintentional

act of the opponent(s), or something outside the player’s own control (not including a permanent fixture).

correct half of the court according to the score. A fault that was served before the error was

discovered shall stand.

o During a standard game or a tie-break game, if the players are at the wrong ends of the court,

the error should be corrected as soon as it is discovered and the server shall serve from the

correct end of the court according to the score.

o If a player serves out of turn during a standard game, the player who was originally due to serve

shall serve as soon as the error is discovered. However, if a game is completed before the error is

discovered the order of service shall remain as altered. In this case, any ball change to be made

after an agreed number of games should be made one game later than originally scheduled. A

fault that was served by the opponents(s) before the error was discovered shall not stand. In

doubles, if the partners of one team serve out of turn, a fault that was served before the error

was discovered shall stand.

o If a player serves out of turn during a tie-break game and the error is discovered after an even

number of points have been played, the error is corrected immediately. If the error is discovered

after an odd number of points have been played, the order of service shall remain as altered. A

fault that was served by the opponent(s) before the error was discovered shall not stand. In

doubles, if the partners of one team serve out of turn, a fault that was served before the error

was discovered shall stand.

o During a standard game or a tie-break game in doubles, if there is an error in the order of

receiving, this shall remain as altered until the end of the game in which the error is discovered.

For the next game in which they are the receivers in that set, the partners shall then resume the

original order of receiving.

ORDER OF RECEIVING IN DOUBLES The team which is due to receive in the first game of a set shall decide which player shall receive the first

point in the game. Similarly, before the second game starts, their opponents shall decide which player shall receive the first

point of that game. The player who was the receiver’s partner for the first point of the game shall receive the second point

and this rotation shall continue until the end of the game and the set.

RAIN RELATED RULES If it rains heavily and the match cannot be played, the team or member who is leading the match prior to
