Question 26
Bab (owner of Blue) and Ken (owner of Black) are playing Ray (owner of Red) and Yvonne (owner of Yellow). The players have stopped play and they call you onto the court to resolve the situation. They tell you that in the previous stroke Yvonne played Yellow and in the last stroke Ken played Blue without committing a fault. What is your answer?
Answer
Answer: The players must apply the Replace and Replay remedy. (Rule 10.5.4)
Explanation
This type of Wrong Ball only occurs in doubles because it involves the wrong player of a side playing the striker's ball (which, by definition, is in sequence). The resolution is Replace and Replay, which ensures the game generally proceeds without advantage to either side and as if nothing (or close to nothing) has happened.
