Scoring

Points are awarded for these errors in play:

During Play

• Allowing the ball to bounce on one's own side twice.
• Not hitting the ball after it has bounced on one's own side.
• Letting the ball bounce on one's own side after hitting it.
• Double hitting the ball. Note that the hand below the wrist is considered part of the bat and making a good return off one's hand or fingers is allowed, but hitting one's hand or fingers and subsequently hitting the racket is a double strike and an error.
• Allowing the ball to strike anything other than the racket.
• Not letting the ball bounce on the opponent's side after hitting it (making a "good" return).
• Failing to allow the ball to bounce once in one's own side - you are not allowed to volley the ball, that is, hitting the ball in mid-air over the playing surface.
