3. Squash
Squash is a competition between two players (singles) or two teams of
two players (doubles). One player starts the game by serving the ball
into the back wall of the court. If the serve is returned on its rebound,
this starts a rally that proceeds until a player fails to hit the ball to the
back wall or fails to hit the ball before it has bounced twice.
Scoring can follow the traditional (international) method, a PARS (point
a rally scoring) method, or a customized method that has been modified
for private play.
