Basque trinquete

Features of the court and the game

• One front wall called frontis, which is the wall where the players must throw the ball in each play. The wall has some delimitations. At 80 cm height there is a metallic sheet called chapa". Another metal sheet is located 8,5 metres up the floor. The front wall normally is 10 metres in height and 10 metres in width. The space that is between the upper chapa and the finish of the frontis is normally padded, so that it is obvious a fault has occurred when the ball hits this area. Below, there is also another paddled area from the floor to the below chapa.
• There is another wall parallelly collocated more or less 30 metres back the frontis called rebote. This wall is 5 or 4 metres lower than the other.
• A wall on the left side of the court joins the frontis and rebote. It is a little bit lower than the front wall and a bit higher than the back wall.
