國際網球總會(ITF)- 網球規則FAST4賽制規定(由本會委員兼競賽組裁判-陳致中先生提供)

國際網球總會(ITF)已於今年(2016)修改網球規則，將在今明兩年試用FAST4賽制作為盤的選擇性計分制，規則原文如下，其後為個人嘗試的譯文，請各位參考指正。

FOR A TWO-YEAR TRIAL (2016-2017), THE ALTERNATIVE FAST4 FORMAT MAY BE USED.

When the FAST4 format is used the following alternative methods may be used:

SCORE IN A SET

A set is complete once a player/team reaches four (4) games.

A FAST4 tie-break is played when the score reaches three (3) games all.

In a FAST4 tie-break the player/team who first wins five (5) points shall win the set, with a deciding point at 4-4. The player whose turn it is to serve at the commencement of the tie-break (Player A) will serve two (2) points starting on the right half of the court. The opposing player (Player B) will then serve two (2) points starting on the right half of the court. Player A (or the partner, Player C, in doubles) will then serve two (2) points. Player B (or the partner, Player D, in doubles) will then serve the following two (2) points. If the score reaches 4-4, Player B (or Player D in doubles) will serve the final point of the tie-break with the receiver(s) choosing whether to receive the serve from the right half or the left half of the court.

Players/Teams will only change ends after the first four (4) points have been played.

THE LET DURING A SERVICE

FAST4 is played with the “no let rule”.

In doubles, if a serve touches the net, strap or band and lands (bounces) within the correct service box, either player on the receiving team can return the ball.

2016至2017兩年，可使用選擇性FAST4賽制。

使用FAST4賽制時，可使用下列計分方式：

盤的計分

首先贏得4局的球員/球組贏得該盤。

雙方局數達3平時，進行FAST4決勝局來決定該盤勝負。

在FAST4決勝局中首先贏得5分的球員/球組贏得該盤，分數4平時採決勝分。決勝局開始時，輪到發球的球員(A球員)先發兩球，並從右邊場區開始，接著對手(B球員)由右邊場區開始發兩球。然後A球員(或其隊友C球員)發兩球，接著B球員(或其隊友D球員)發兩球。若分數達到4平時，最後一分由B球員(或其隊友D球員)發球，接球方可選擇在右邊或左邊場區接球。

雙方球員只在前4分結束後換邊。

註：經詢問ITF後，確定各局(除決勝局外)皆採No-Ad賽制。

發球重賽

FAST4採用”無觸網重發”賽制。

雙打時，若所發之球碰觸球網、網帶或束帶並落(彈跳)於正確的發球區內，接球方的任一球員皆可回擊。
