you are too tired to get out of the way, too bad! read on, it's
interesting...
Rule 3.15 AVOIDABLE HINDERS
An avoidable hinder results in the loss of the rally. An avoidable hinder
does not necessarily have to be an intentional act. Dead-ball hinders are
described in Rule 3.14. Any of the following results in an avoidable hinder:
(a) Failure to Move. A player does not move sufficiently to allow an
opponent a shot straight to the front wall as well as a cross-court shot
which is a shot directly to the front wall at an angle that would cause the
ball to rebound directly to the rear corner farthest from the player hitting
the ball. Also when a player moves in such a direction that it prevents an
opponent from taking either of these shots.
(b) Stroke Interference. This occurs when a player moves, or fails to
move, so that the opponent returning the ball does not have a free,
unimpeded swing. This includes unintentionally moving in a direction which
prevents the opponent from making an open, offensive shot.
(c) Blocking. Moves into a position which blocks the opponent from
getting to, or returning, the ball; or in doubles, a player moves in front
of an opponent as the player's partner is returning the ball.
(d) Moving into the Ball. Moves in the way and is struck by the ball just
played by the opponent.
(e) Pushing. Deliberately pushes or shoves opponent during a rally.
(f) Intentional Distractions. Deliberate shouting, stamping of feet,
waving of racquet, or any other manner of disrupting one's opponent.
(g) View Obstruction. A player moves across an opponent's line of vision
just before the opponent strikes the ball.
(h) Wetting the Ball. The players, particularly the server, should ensure
that the ball is dry prior to the serve. Any wet ball that is not corrected
prior to the serve shall result in an avoidable hinder against the server.
(i) Apparel or Equipment Loss. If a player loses any apparel, equipment,
or other article, play shall be immediately stopped and that player shall be
called for an avoidable hinder, unless the player has just hit a shot that
could not be retrieved. If the loss of equipment is caused by a player's
opponent, then a dead-ball hinder should be called. If the opponent's action
is judged to have been avoidable, then the opponent should be called for an
avoidable hinder.
