Serve not thrown up
Rules
philip west Asked 8 years ago
if the ball is not thrown up six inches and is called by the umpire is it a point to the opponent?

Hi Phillip,
Yes the opponent gets the point. The umpire may choose to warn the server and therefore he wouldn't lose a point but if he calls a fault then the server loses the point.

I wish this rule was enforced more often... in circumstances where it's blatantly obvious.
It is always difficult in a club situation where players are umpiring for their team mates.
