Racquetball Rules Types of Games Singles Doubles Doubles follow the same basic rules, with a few execptions. When serving in doubles, the team must decide who will serve first and stick with this rotation throughout the entire game. While one player is serving the other must stand in either one of the small boxes inside the service zone with their back against the wall. After a successful serve the returning team must hit the ball just like in singles, there is no rules about who has to hit the ball, players do not need to rotate returns. The team that serves first only gets one handout (losing the rally). After the first serve is over, every other serve throughout the game is then rotated. Once the first player goes out, then the second player gets to serve until they go out. The game is played to 15 points. Cut Throat This game is played with three players. All three can play "long ball" to decide the serving order. Once that is decided the server serves as they normally would. The two recievers however act as a doubles team while they are not serving. Once the server goes out, the second server enters the service zone while the previous server takes their spot as a reciever and now is on a team with the other reciever. The rotation continues and each player keeps their own individual score. First person to 15 wins. For more detailed information and the official rules of the U.S. Racquetball Association click here.
