TOTAL BALLS : 19 in official competitions, actually, twice as many for unofficial games and
training, according to categories (chicks, benjamins, teens, cadets, juniors, seniors and
professionals).
Degree of bounce on solid rubber balls is shown with white, yellow, green and red dots.
The recent ancestor of today’s rebot, LAXOA, is seldom played.
All 24 games descend from the over 1000 year old ƒ JEU DE PAUME „ (Real Tennis),
very appreciated and played by Kings and Nobility up to the 1789 French Revolution ;
so do today’s tennis, badminton, squash, cricket and U.S. baseball.
Tennis even counts points (15, 30, 40, set) like the ancient ƒ JEU DE PAUME € and today’s
PASAKA and REBOT.
