Net Play

I think the FED is different from USA and NCAA, so I don't want to goof.

But,

I am sure there is a case on this. If memory serves, if there is a "joust", and the ball runs along the top of the net and contacts the antenna, it is a double fault, replay. If it falls OOB to one side or the other, you penalize the opposite side. Yes, this seems like you penalize the stronger player, but that is the interp.

Actually, this was a FED test question this year. The FED interp is a replay if a "joust" occurs and the ball rolls along the net and contacts the antenna. If the ball falls to one side or another of the net after the "joust", it is considered last touched by the player on the opposite side.
