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.

You mean "shouldn't" don't you Alois?
Haha... yes... definitely!
