13 case: Touch the fence of the opposite field by hand
Top that goes for three. We already know that off-piste play is authorized, so I go out the door to return the ball. To push me up and reach it, I take my hand in the metal grid of the opposite field. I hit the ball and return it to the side of the court of our rivals.
What happens then?
a) I lose the point simply by touching the fence of the opposite field.
b) The return is good since the grate can be touched without problem.
c) I lose the point for pushing myself, taking advantage of the fence. Just touching it is not a fault.
d) The rules do not contemplate this situation. The point should be repeated.
CORRECT ANSWER:
a) I lose the point simply by touching the fence of the opposite field.
!! Congratulations!! It's not every day that we manage to get off the track successfully… But I'm sorry, you've missed the point.
Rule 13 (Lost Point), section a), does not allow the player to touch "the terrain of the opposite side, including the metal mesh, while the ball is in play" By taking the mesh, you have committed an infraction of this rule and you have lost the point, just as it happens when you touch the net with any part of your body.
