When the question arises

The article is needed by tournament players and referees, as a rare episode often causes confident but contradictory interpretations

Как принять решение

Сначала мяч должен законно отскочить на стороне принимающего игрока, а затем из-за вращения или ветра вернуться через сетку. Игрок может попытаться сыграть его в соответствии со специальным исключением, не касаясь сетки и не создавая запрещённого контакта. Важно отделять эту ситуацию от обычной попытки ударить мяч до пересечения сетки.

First, reconstruct the observed facts: the players' position, the bounce, the score announced and the moment the draw ends. Then apply the rule. In an argument, habit and confident tone do not replace facts

Start with three checksmake sure to legally rebound; squirt; net off.

What to Check in the Episode

  • make sure to legally rebound
  • squirt
  • net off
  • Knowing a special exception before the tournament

How to make sure the rule is understood

Understanding is not tested by retelling a definition, but by the same decision in two or three similar episodes, where the player must name a rule and immediately show the correct action on the court

Where the error occurs

It is a mistake to stop the draw immediately after the return flight or, conversely, to go to the opponent’s side without controlling the net and the boundaries of the court

When you need a primary source

An official tournament can specify the score system, the appeal procedure and the role of the referee, and use the current rulebook and published rules to determine the outcome of the competition, rather than the club arrangement

What to remember

If the episode cannot be restored, do not come up with a confident solution in retrospect. In a training game, disassemble the situation after the draw; in a tournament, follow the procedure specified by the organizer
