The Score
The game consists of 15 points. If the players should arrive at 13 points each, the game can be "set" at the option of him who first reached 13, which means that a further 3 or 5 points may be played; if at 14 each, 3 points may be similarly played. It is only the server who can add to his score one for any failure on his opponent's part. If he fail to serve according to the rules, or fail to return a ball hit by his opponent, he loses his hand, as the phrase is, and his opponent becomes "hand-in" and is in a position to add points to his score.
