Rule 12 Four-handed and three-handed games

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

In a four-handed game, the side serving first is allowed but one service at the commencement of the game. After the first service each side is allowed two consecutive services, the two partners alternating in turn. The server's partner must stand in one of the "partners' boxes" until the ball strikes the service wall on each service. In a three-handed game the single player shall have every alternate service.
