3. In matches, an umpire's decision is final.

4. The server shall serve with one foot outside the base-line, and with the other within or upon that line.

5. If the server does not stand as directed (4), or serves from the wrong court, it is a "fault."

6. Should the server make a fault by delivering the ball from the wrong court, his next service must come from that court from which it should have been delivered before.

7. A fault cannot be claimed after the next service is delivered.

8. A good service delivered when the striker-out is not ready, counts for nothing, and does not annul a previous fault.

9. A service, otherwise good, which touches the net or poles, counts for nothing; but a return doing so is good.

10. A player loses a stroke should he touch the net or any of its supports, while the ball is in play; or should he volley the ball before it has passed the net.

11. The umpire, on appeal from either party before the toss for choice, may direct the players to change sides at the end of every game, if in his opinion either side have a distinct advantage, owing to the sun, wind, or any accidental cause; but if the appeal be made after a match has begun, the umpire may only direct the players to change sides at the end of every game of the odd and concluding set.

12. In the four-handed court, 4 1-2 feet within the side lines and parallel with them, are drawn the service side-lines, and the service side-lines extend only to these lines; and within these lines the service must be delivered.
