The server must first bounce the ball then hit it with the racquet to serve, the ball must hit the front wall first and land beyond the short line.

A player gets two opportunities to put the ball into play, known as first and second serves (similar to tennis).

Several scenarios: if the ball hits the ceiling, the back wall or does not cross the short line on the fly, or the server steps on or beyond the service line during the serve.

Out serves occur if the ball hits the floor before the front wall, goes out of the court after hitting the front wall, or touches the server or server's teammate in doubles after hitting the front wall.

A dead ball serve results in a replay; this occurs if the served ball hits the server, the server's partner in doubles, or any designated court fixture before the serve is completed.

After a service fault, the player has a second opportunity to serve, also known as a second serve.

A hinder is a replay of a point due to an unavoidable or accidental obstruction or interference by one of the players.

The player who caused the avoidable hinder loses the rally, and the opposing player is awarded a point or the serve.

A point is scored by the serving player when they win a rally that they served.

Typically, a player wins a game by reaching 15 points first, and most matches are best of three games (the third game to 11 points if necessary).

The five-minute rule allows players a maximum of a five-minute break between the first and second games and between the second and tiebreaker game if needed.

No, the receiver must not cross the receiving line until the served ball either bounces or passes beyond the short line.

A standard racquetball court measures 40 feet in length, 20 feet in width, and 20 feet in height.

The ball must bounce beyond the short line but before the back wall on the serve.

No, carrying, catching or throwing the ball with the racquet is not permitted and results in a loss of rally.

The ball must be dropped, then hit with the racquet, and the ball must hit the front wall first without touching any other surfaces beforehand.

All players are required to wear lensed eyewear that has been designed for racquet sports to protect their eyes during play.

A player may politely ask the referee for an appeal and the call may be reviewed depending on the rules of the event and the availability of line judges.

The double bounce rule states that the ball cannot bounce more than once before being returned by the defender. If the ball does, the rallying player loses the point or the serve.
