 A
game begins when one of the players serves
off of the front wall so that the ball
bounces in the opponent's service area.
A player scores a point when the opponent
lets the ball bounce twice, fails to return
it to the front wall above the telltale,
or hits the ball so that it strikes the
ceiling or anywhere above the play lines.
A shot must hit the front wall, but it
may also be played off of any or all of
the other walls. The ball may be volleyed-that
is, struck before it hits the ground.
In the softball version a game is played
to 9 points, but only the server can score
points. The winner of a point continues
(or starts) serving. A tiebreaker is used
if the score becomes tied at 8 points.
A match consists of the best two out of
three or the best three out of five games.
In the hardball version a game is played
to 15 points, with the winner of each
rally scoring a point. The winner of a
point also continues (or starts) serving.
If the game is tied at 13 or 14 points,
a tiebreaker is played.
