  9. LET (Let the serve be served again) • Ball hits the net and lands in the correct service box. • Ball is served when the receiver was not ready • There is an outside interference during the serve or during the following play. • Any play where there is a question about legality. • Unless a fault or a let is called, the ball is in play from the moment the server hits the ball, and remains in play until the point is decided.
