🎾스쿼시 규칙

Squash is a racket sport played by two players (or four in doubles) inside an enclosed court, striking a small rubber ball against the front wall. Players share the same space and hit shots in turn. The ball may use any wall as long as it reaches the front wall before bouncing on the floor.

Score more points than your opponent by playing shots they cannot return legally before the second bounce. Every rally won is worth one point.

• •The ball must always reach the front wall (above the lower line and below the out line) at some point in the shot.
• •You may let the ball bounce at most once on the floor before hitting it; a second bounce loses the rally.
• •Serve from the service box by sending the ball to the front wall above the service line.
• •Both players share the court: you must give your opponent access to the ball and room to swing.
• •If interference occurs, stop play and ask for a 'let' (replayed rally) rather than risk a collision.
• •A ball that goes out of bounds (out) or hits the lower metal plate (tin) is a fault.

Under the PAR system, the winner of each rally scores 1 point, whether they served or not. A game is won by the first player to 11 points; at 10-10, play continues until one player leads by 2. The match score is counted in games won.

A match is most often best of 5 games (first to 3 games won). Some competitions or recreational formats use best of 3 games. There is no fixed duration: length depends on the rallies.

The player who wins the required number of games (3 in best-of-5, 2 in best-of-3) wins the match. Each game is won at 11 points with a 2-point margin.
