Table squash

A point is won when the ball does not complete the required sequence of bouncing off the wall and the opponent's side of the table.

A turn is not completed if the ball falls down the crack, and the player who played the stroke will lose the point.

If the ball touches the net but still completes the required bounces in order a let is called and the serve is replayed.

If a player endevours to play repeated shots in order to set up a winning shot, such as repeated hits off the wall whilst positioning themselves in a place to slam the ball in an unreturnable manner, then poor sportsmanship is called and this player forfeits the point.

If the scoring wall has obstacles on it decision should be made before commencing play whether striking these should constitute a foul.

Under official rules, all attempts to minimize such obstacles should be made but striking them should not constitute a foul.

The game was founded and the rules created by the International Table Squash Association (ITSA)[6] which continues to develop the game and create tournaments as well as recognize and ratify non ITSA organised tournaments.

[7] The ITSA World Table Squash Championships are held every 4 years.

The format of the championship is a round robin league with matches held between all participants, with the top 4 going on to the playoffs to contest the ITSA Cup.
