The Downside Ball Game both sides are “game-ball” (i.e. 20 points each), only one player serves, it does not matter which. When only one side is “game-ball”, only one player on that side serves, but both players on the other side serve until they too reach “game-ball”. "(ii)" A player serves by hitting the ball full toss against the front wall or against one of the corners; in this latter case he must first call “corners play”; if he does not do so, the players, who are “out” may try at it the same way as a “not over” ball (see below section iv).
