Rule 19

Historical rulebook: not the current rules. The current rules are here (USHA Four-Wall Rulebook, as of 26 January 2025).

Hitting a partner with a ball immediately puts the ball out of play and loses the point for that side except during the service when the partner is standing between the lines with his back to the wall. The man serving the ball in four handed match is the man who is supposed to play inside the lines at all times.
