    Where should the single sticks be placed?

    • A.

      A. 3 ft. from the outer edge of the singles side line, on opposite sides of the

    • B.

      B. 3 ft. from the outer edge of the singles side line, on the same side of the net

    • C.

      C. 3 ft. from the inside edge of the singles side line, on opposite sides of the net

    Correct Answer
    A. A. 3 ft. from the outer edge of the singles side line, on opposite sides of the
    Explanation
    The single sticks should be placed 3 ft. from the outer edge of the singles side line, on opposite sides of the net. This placement ensures that the sticks are evenly spaced and symmetrical on both sides of the court. Placing them on the same side of the net or closer to the inside edge of the singles side line would not provide the desired symmetry and may impact the fairness of the game.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Player A hits a rally shot into the net and then says, “The ball was out.” Decision?

    • A.

      A. Player A wins the point

    • B.

      B. Replay the point

    • C.

      C. Player B wins the point

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Player B wins the point
    Explanation
    In tennis, if a player hits a rally shot into the net and then claims that the ball was out, the correct decision is for Player B to win the point. This is because the ball did not land in the opponent's court, resulting in a point for Player B.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The doubt created  by doubles partners disagreeing on “in” or “out” means the ball should be called  good.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    When doubles partners disagree on whether a ball is "in" or "out," it creates doubt about the ball's location. In such cases, the ball should be called good because there is no consensus on whether it was out.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Reversed “out” calls, made immediately, result in a replay of the point.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    When "out" calls are reversed immediately, it does not result in a replay of the point. In tennis, if a player makes an "out" call and then realizes that the ball was actually in, they can reverse their call and the point will continue. There is no replay of the point in this situation. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Before making a call a player may request help from my opponent, asking “how did you see it?”  However, I still can make my own call of “in” or “out.”

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    A player can request help from their opponent before making a call, but they cannot make their own call of "in" or "out" after receiving assistance.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A player who declines to warm-up his opponent is subject to the PPS

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. There is no rule or regulation that requires a player to warm up their opponent before a game. The decision to warm up or not is entirely up to the individual player and is not subject to any penalties or consequences.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The time it takes to clear a ball coming on court between 1st and 2nd serve is generally not sufficient time to warrant  a 1st serve.  

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that the time it takes to clear a ball coming on court between the 1st and 2nd serve is usually not enough to justify using a 1st serve. In other words, the time it takes to retrieve the ball and get ready for the next serve is typically too short to make the risk of using a 1st serve worth it. Therefore, the correct answer is A. True.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In doubles, the Receiver’s partner must call the service line, and the Receiver must call the sideline.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    In doubles, the Receiver's partner does not have to call the service line. Only the Receiver is responsible for calling the sideline. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A player who claims a hindrance must stop play:

    • A.

      A. At the end of the point

    • B.

      B. Immediately

    • C.

      C. Anytime during the point

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Immediately
    Explanation
    When a player claims a hindrance, they must stop play immediately. This means that they cannot continue playing the point or wait until the end of the point to address the hindrance. They must stop the game right away in order to resolve the issue.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Player A has made several questionable calls.  Player B leaves the court to find an official, who cannot immediately come to court.  Player B must return to court and continue play until the official arrives.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Player B does not have to return to the court and continue play until the official arrives. Player B can choose to wait for the official to arrive before continuing play or can choose to continue playing without the official present.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    A player breaks his racket at the end of the 1st set.  The player is: 

    • A.

      A. Allowed “reasonable time” to replace his racket

    • B.

      B. Not allowed to leave the court

    • C.

      C, Allowed to leave the court to replace his racket, but must be ready to play in 120 seconds

    Correct Answer
    C. C, Allowed to leave the court to replace his racket, but must be ready to play in 120 seconds
    Explanation
    According to the given answer, the player is allowed to leave the court to replace his racket. However, he must be ready to play again within 120 seconds. This means that the player has a limited amount of time to replace his racket and get back on the court to continue playing the match.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    A player grunts loudly every time when hitting the ball. His opponent does not complain, but a player on an adjacent court does complain.  Decision?

    • A.

      A. Do nothing

    • B.

      B. Issue a Code Violation, Unsportsmanlike Conduct

    • C.

      C. Caution the grunting player that future grunting may result in a Code Violation

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Caution the grunting player that future grunting may result in a Code Violation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is C because while the opponent may not complain, the player on the adjacent court does complain. This suggests that the grunting is causing a disturbance and disrupting the game. By cautioning the grunting player, they are being given a warning that their behavior may result in a code violation in the future, which is a fair and appropriate response.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    A player grunts loudly every time when hitting the ball.  His opponent does not complain, only the parent of the non-grunting player.  Decision?

    • A.

      A. Do nothing

    • B.

      B. Issue a Code Violation, Unsportsmanlike Conduct

    • C.

      C. Caution the player about grunting

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Do nothing
    Explanation
    In this situation, the opponent of the player who grunts loudly does not complain. Only the parent of the non-grunting player is complaining. Since there is no complaint from the opponent, it can be assumed that the opponent does not find the grunting to be a problem. Therefore, there is no reason for any action to be taken.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    When a ball is not in play, a player must honor an opponent’s request to move a ball from the court or near the playing area.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    When a ball is not in play, it is considered good sportsmanship for a player to honor an opponent's request to move the ball from the court or near the playing area. This helps to maintain a fair and respectful playing environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Player A, after hitting an overhead “sitter” near the net, loses his racket.  It flies over the net hitting his opponent, Player B, who cannot continue play after a full MTO.  Who wins the match?

    • A.

      Player A

    • B.

      Player B

    Correct Answer
    A. Player A
    Explanation
    Player A wins the match because Player B cannot continue play after being hit by Player A's racket.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The PPS is optional in Adult and Senior Divisions of Red, Orange and Green Tennis.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the PPS (Player Progression System) is not optional in the Adult and Senior Divisions of Red, Orange, and Green Tennis. The PPS is a system that helps players progress through different levels of play based on their skill and ability. It is mandatory for players in these divisions to participate in the PPS in order to ensure fair and competitive matches.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    64.  Red, Orange and Green Ball Tennis is designed only for 10 and under youth.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Red, Orange, and Green Ball Tennis is not exclusively designed for 10 and under youth. It is a modified format of tennis that uses different ball colors and court sizes to accommodate players of different ages and skill levels. While it is commonly used for younger players, it can also be used for older players who are new to the sport or looking to improve their skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    The PPS is not used in Red Ball Tennis, but may be used in Orange .

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    The statement clearly states that the PPS (presumably referring to a specific rule or equipment) is not used in Red Ball Tennis but may be used in Orange Ball Tennis. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Orange Ball Tennis uses No-Ad scoring only.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    Orange Ball Tennis uses No-Ad scoring only. In No-Ad scoring, the first player to win four points wins the game. However, if the game reaches deuce (40-40), the next point won by a player will give them the advantage. If the player with the advantage wins the next point, they win the game. But if the player without the advantage wins the next point, the game goes back to deuce. This scoring system is designed to speed up the game and make it more exciting.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Green ball Tennis shall use USTA authorized scoring and draw formats, including those listed in  Reg. VI.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because it states that Green ball Tennis will use USTA authorized scoring and draw formats, including those listed in Reg. VI. This means that Green ball Tennis will follow the rules and regulations set by the USTA for scoring and draw formats, ensuring consistency and fairness in the game.

    Rate this question:

    • A.

      A. 1 Short Set, or best of 3 Short sets, or Timed Matches

      B. Best of 5 Short Sets, or Match Tiebreaks, or 1 tiebreak set

    • C.

      C. 1 tiebreak set, or Timed Matches, or 1 advantage set

    Correct Answer
    A. A. 1 Short Set, or best of 3 Short sets, or Timed Matches
    Explanation
    Adult and Senior Orange Ball Tennis can be played using three different formats: 1 Short Set, best of 3 Short sets, or Timed Matches. This means that players can choose to play a single short set, or they can play a best of 3 short sets match, or they can play a match with a set time limit. This allows for flexibility in the game format and accommodates different preferences and time constraints.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    An approved format for Red Ball Tennis includes all of the options mentioned: one tiebreak game, best of 3 tiebreak games, and timed matches. This means that players can choose to play a single tiebreak game, or they can play a best of 3 tiebreak games, or they can play timed matches. All of these formats are considered acceptable and approved for Red Ball Tennis.

    A diabetic player is allowed to check his blood sugar during a match and administer an injection of insulin.       

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    A diabetic player is allowed to check his blood sugar during a match and administer an injection of insulin because managing blood sugar levels is crucial for their health and well-being. Insulin injections help regulate blood sugar levels, and checking blood sugar levels during a match ensures that the player can make necessary adjustments to maintain their health and performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Player A is receiving an MTO.  His opponent goes to the fence and begins talking with his coach.  Tell him:

    • A.

      A. He may talk with his coach off court

    • B.

      B. He may talk with his coach until the MTO ends

    • C.

      C. He may not receive coaching during the MTO

    Correct Answer
    C. C. He may not receive coaching during the MTO
    Explanation
    During an MTO (Medical Time Out), the player who is receiving the MTO is not allowed to receive coaching. Therefore, the opponent cannot talk with his coach during the MTO.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    A player sprains her wrist during the warm-up and is given an MTO.  She re-injures  the wrist during the match.  Decision?

    • A.

      A. Treatment only on change-overs

    • B.

      B. Allow the MTO

    • C.

      C. Allow treatment, with Time Violations accruing

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Allow the MTO
    Explanation
    If a player sprains her wrist during the warm-up and is given an MTO (Medical Time Out), it means that she is allowed to receive medical treatment for her injury. If she re-injures her wrist during the match, the correct decision would be to allow her to take another MTO. This is because the player has already received treatment for the initial injury and it is only fair to allow her to receive treatment for the re-injury as well.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    A player who receives supplemental oxygen on court will be defaulted.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    If a player receives supplemental oxygen on court, they will be defaulted. This means that they will be disqualified from the match and lose the game. The use of supplemental oxygen is not allowed during a match as it can give the player an unfair advantage or disrupt the flow of the game. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    A player receives treatment for a groin pull, having to go the locker room 2 minutes away.  It takes him 45 seconds to adjust his clothing after the full MTO, and returns to court within 8 minutes.  Decision?

    • A.

      A. Issue a Code Violation, Delay of Game, Point Penalty

    • B.

      B. Issue a Time Violation

    • C.

      C. Do nothing

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Do nothing
    Explanation
    The player in this scenario receives treatment for a groin pull and takes 45 seconds to adjust his clothing after the full medical time-out (MTO). However, he returns to the court within 8 minutes, which is within the allowed time limit for a player to return after an MTO. Therefore, there is no violation or penalty to be issued in this situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    53.  May a tournament limit the number of bathroom breaks?

    • A.

      A. Yes

    • B.

      B. No

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Yes
    Explanation
    Tournaments may limit the number of bathroom breaks in order to maintain the flow and efficiency of the event. By limiting the number of breaks, organizers can ensure that players do not take excessive time away from the game, which could disrupt the schedule or give certain players an unfair advantage. Additionally, limiting bathroom breaks can help prevent potential cheating or strategizing during breaks.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    A player starts bleeding from the nose.  After 15 minutes, only a cotton ball in the nose will keep it from bleeding.  The player does not want cotton in his nose.  Decision?

    • A.

      A. Allow more time for bleeding to stop

    • B.

      B. Tell the player he must play with the cotton or retire.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Tell the player he must play with the cotton or retire.
    Explanation
    The player is experiencing nosebleeds, and after 15 minutes, the bleeding only stops when a cotton ball is placed in the nose. However, the player does not want to use cotton. The decision to tell the player he must play with the cotton or retire is based on the fact that the player's health and safety should be prioritized. If the player continues without the cotton ball, there is a risk of the bleeding starting again, which could potentially affect the player's performance and well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to insist on using the cotton ball or consider retirement to prevent any further complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    A player vomits on court and asks for an MTO.  What action should an official take?

    • A.

      A. Refuse the MTO…this is a non-treatable condition

    • B.

      B. When he finishes vomiting, say, “Let’s play.”

    • C.

      C. Grant the MTO and clean up the court

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Grant the MTO and clean up the court
    Explanation
    When a player vomits on the court, it is necessary to grant them a medical timeout (MTO) and clean up the court. Vomiting can be a sign of illness or discomfort, and it is important to ensure the player's well-being. Granting the MTO allows the player to receive any necessary medical attention or treatment, and cleaning up the court ensures the safety and hygiene of the playing area for all participants.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    May a player take an MTO for a medical condition,  having  been previously treated on 2 consecutive change-overs for that condition?

    • A.

      A. Yes

    • B.

      B. No

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Yes
    Explanation
    A player may take an MTO (Medical Time Out) for a medical condition, even if they have been previously treated on 2 consecutive change-overs for that condition. This means that the player is allowed to receive medical attention and treatment during the match, regardless of how many times they have been treated before.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    When should bathroom breaks be taken?  

    • A.

      A. Player discretion

    • B.

      B. At set breaks

    • C.

      C. Before the opponent’s next service game

    Correct Answer
    B. B. At set breaks
    Explanation
    Bathroom breaks should be taken at set breaks. This means that players should wait for the end of a set before taking a bathroom break. This is the appropriate time to leave the court and use the bathroom, as it does not disrupt the flow of the game and allows for a fair and equal break for both players. Taking a bathroom break during an opponent's service game could be seen as a tactic to disrupt their rhythm and concentration, which is not considered fair play.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    A player twists his ankle and requests an MTO.  Though you did not witness the injury, you grant an MTO.  No medical personnel are available.  Is he allowed evaluation time?

    • A.

      A. Yes

    • B.

      B. Not applicable

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Not applicable
    Explanation
    Since no medical personnel are available to evaluate the player's injury, it is not applicable to grant evaluation time.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

     The PPS is mandatory in all  “Red, Orange, and Green Ball Tennis”

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the PPS (Player Positioning System) is not mandatory in all "Red, Orange, and Green Ball Tennis" matches. The PPS is a technology used to track player movement and positioning on the court, but its use is not required in all matches of this type.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Time Violations cannot be consecutive, ie. not back-to-back.  When can a second Time Violation be issued? 

    • A.

      A. After an intervening point has been played

    • B.

      B. When another 20 seconds have passed

    • C.

      C. Lateness from a bathroom break

    Correct Answer
    A. A. After an intervening point has been played
    Explanation
    A second Time Violation can be issued after an intervening point has been played. This means that if a player has already received a Time Violation and commits another violation, they will only be penalized after a point has been played in between the two violations. This rule prevents consecutive Time Violations from being issued back-to-back.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    The objective of the PPS is to punish misconduct or violations of the Rules of Tennis.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the objective of the PPS (Penalties and Procedures Subcommittee) is not to punish misconduct or violations of the Rules of Tennis. The PPS is responsible for proposing changes to the rules and regulations of tennis, as well as reviewing and updating the code of conduct for players, officials, and other individuals involved in the sport. The actual punishment for misconduct or violations is determined by the appropriate governing body or disciplinary committee.

    • A.

      A. Time Violation

    • B.

      B. Code Violation

    • C.

      C. Immediate default

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Time Violation
    Explanation
    Violation of the 3 minute rest-period refers to not taking the required rest period within the specified time frame. This violation is categorized as a "Time Violation" because it is a breach of the designated time limit for the rest period. It does not fall under the category of a "Code Violation" or an "Immediate default", as those terms are not relevant to this specific scenario.

    • C.

      C. Tournament Appeals Committee

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    A player who leaves the court to replace his racket is subject to multiple back-to-back Time Violations.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    If a player leaves the court to replace his racket, it does not necessarily mean that he will be subject to multiple back-to-back Time Violations. The number of Time Violations is dependent on the specific rules and regulations of the game, and it is possible that a player may not receive any Time Violations for this action. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the fact that a player has been assessed "loss of toss" and 1 game for lateness does not necessarily mean that they are not entitled to a warm-up. The two issues are unrelated, and a player's entitlement to a warm-up would depend on the rules and regulations of the specific sport or competition.

    When both players are late getting up after a changeover (90 seconds having elapsed), what action should an official take?

    • A.

      A. Issue a Time Violation to the Receiver

    • B.

      B. Issue a Time Violation to the Server

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Issue a Time Violation to the Server
    Explanation
    When both players are late getting up after a changeover and 90 seconds have elapsed, the official should issue a Time Violation to the Server. This is because the server is responsible for starting the point and maintaining the pace of the match. By being late getting up, the server is causing a delay in the game, which goes against the rules. Therefore, the official should penalize the server for the time violation.

    If the treatment of a player on a changeover exceeds the 90 seconds.  What action should an official take?

    • A.

      A. Code Violation, Delay of Game

    • B.

      B. Time Violation

    • C.

      C. Default: treatment on changeovers is not allowed following an MTO

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Code Violation, Delay of Game
    Explanation
    If the treatment of a player on a changeover exceeds the 90 seconds, it would be considered a code violation and a delay of game. This means that the player has taken too long during the changeover, which disrupts the flow of the game and is against the rules. The official should take action by penalizing the player for the code violation and delay of game.

    A player comes back 90 seconds late from a 10 minute rest period, what action should an official take?

    • A.

      A. No penalty- 90 seconds is allowed

    • B.

      B. Code Violation, Point Penalty

    • C.

      C . A Game Penalty

    Correct Answer
    C. C . A Game Penalty
    Explanation
    If a player comes back 90 seconds late from a 10-minute rest period, it indicates a significant delay beyond the allowed time. Therefore, the official should take action by giving the player a game penalty. This penalty serves as a consequence for the player's delay and helps maintain fairness and discipline in the game.

    If a player receives a “Time Violation, Warning” for being “slow,” and does not resume play within another 20 seconds. What action should an official take?

    • A.

      A. Issue a Time Violation, Point Penalty

    • B.

      B. Issue a Code Violation

    • C.

      C. Nothing. The player has 60 seconds

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Issue a Code Violation
    Explanation
    If a player receives a "Time Violation, Warning" for being "slow," and does not resume play within another 20 seconds, the official should issue a Code Violation. This means that the player has already been warned for taking too much time, and if they continue to delay the game, they will be penalized further. Therefore, the official should take action by issuing a Code Violation.

    A “game penalty” assessed during a set tiebreak results in loss of the set; if assessed in a match tiebreak results in loss of match.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    If a "game penalty" is assessed during a set tiebreak, it means that a player has committed a serious violation or misconduct. In this case, the player will lose the entire set. Similarly, if a "game penalty" is assessed during a match tiebreak, it will result in the player losing the entire match. Therefore, the statement that a "game penalty" assessed during a set tiebreak results in loss of the set and if assessed in a match tiebreak results in loss of match is true.

    Taking more than two MTOs during one stoppage of play should result in a Code Violation.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    Taking more than two MTOs (Medical Time Outs) during one stoppage of play is against the rules and considered a violation. This is to prevent players from excessively delaying the game or gaining an unfair advantage by receiving multiple time outs for medical reasons. Therefore, the statement is true.

    As the Rover standing by court 1, you hear an obscenity yelled on court 3, but are unsure who yelled it.  Arriving at court 3 several points later, Player A admits he yelled the obscenity.  Can you now impose the PPS?

    • A.

      A. Yes

    • B.

      B. No

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Yes
    Explanation
    Yes, you can impose the PPS (Penalty Point System) because Player A has admitted to yelling the obscenity. The PPS is typically imposed for violations such as obscenities, and since Player A has confessed, it is clear that they are responsible for the violation.

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    In a match conducted with no Chair Umpire, the official primarily responsible for imposing the PPS is: 

    • A.

      A. Tournament Director

    • B.

      B. Roving Umpire

    • C.

      C. Court monitor

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Roving Umpire
    Explanation
    In a match conducted with no Chair Umpire, the official primarily responsible for imposing the PPS (Point Penalty System) is the Roving Umpire. The Roving Umpire is responsible for monitoring the match and ensuring that the players adhere to the rules and regulations. They have the authority to impose penalties, such as point deductions, for any violations or misconduct during the match. The Tournament Director is in charge of overseeing the overall tournament operations, while the Court Monitor typically focuses on maintaining court conditions and equipment. Therefore, the Roving Umpire is the correct answer in this scenario.

    A Server cannot be “on the move” when serving , thus requiring the Receiver to “guess the position” from which the ball will be served

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    When serving in a game like tennis, the server needs to be stationary and not moving. This is because the server needs to maintain a consistent position and follow certain rules while serving. If the server were to move while serving, it would create an unfair advantage for the server and make it difficult for the receiver to anticipate the position from which the ball will be served. Therefore, the statement that a server cannot be "on the move" when serving is true.

    A ball hits a player’s foot on the fly behind the baseline.  Whose point is it?          

    • A.

      A. The player who hit the shot

    • B.

      B. The player whose foot was hit

    Correct Answer
    A. A. The player who hit the shot
    Explanation
    When a ball hits a player's foot on the fly behind the baseline, it is considered a fault or an out-of-bounds shot. In this case, the point goes to the opposing player or team, which is the player who hit the shot. The player whose foot was hit does not gain any advantage from the ball hitting their foot, so the point is awarded to the other player.
