Etiquette

1. 

Forcing – it is considered dangerous play to force for the dedans (and side galleries in doubles) from inside the hazard area. If you are playing a short chase and the ball is in the hazard area, you should force for the dedans off the main wall.

2.

Part of the fun of Night Pennant is to mark games; it is not appropriate to dispute the calls of the marker, especially if they are a weaker or new player. We all know what it’s like to learn a new skill and everyone has to start somewhere. Please be tolerant of your fellow members.

3.

It is a courtesy to remove balls which are lying in the hazard chase area as the server would not want a hazard chase to occur if he or she struck the offending ball. However, the server would want to remove any ball on their side of the court in case it was struck, setting a chase, and thus losing the serve.

And probably the main reason for removing any ball from the court floor? Safety - it's not pleasant to roll your ankle!

4.

It is customary to raise one's hand to attract the attention of the marker when queries may wish to be made.
