13. LETS

In addition to lets allowed under other rules, the Referee may or shall allow lets in certain other
cases. A player should request a let by saying "Let please". The Referee, if uncertain of the reason for
an appeal, may ask the player for an explanation.

13.1 The Referee may allow a let if:

13.1.1 the ball in play touches any article lying on the floor (see Rule 15.3);

13.1.2 the striker refrains from hitting the ball onto any of the walls including the back wall owing to a reasonable fear of injuring the opponent;

13.1.3 the Referee determines that an occurrence on or off the court distracted either player. A player appealing for distraction must do so immediately the distraction occurs. Notwithstanding the above the Referee may award a stroke to a player who has been distracted if that player could have played a winning return but for the distraction;

13.1.4 the Referee determines that a change in court conditions affected the result of the rally.

 

How do people view the above Rule 13.1.3?

Any personal experiences? Do you get to play a court stamper in your season?

No need to name names but general stuff/ info would be good.

What about the distraction of a player falling over that puts you off playing your next shot?  There was a guy the old owner/manager of Rodmersham used to watch a certain player diving and he would always say it was a stroke away for distraction.

Mentioning no one specific obviously, but if the rule applies in doubles the unmentioned diving person may need to re think his court movement a little.
