Not officially, but it should be covered by the "don't be a dick" rule if you ask me?
If you actually hit someone with your mallet, you are definatly being a dick, IMO. |
Gentleman/woman conduct
These rules will be s ubject to referee’s discretion. If the referee considers a rule broken
(either dangerous or tampering with play) they can instruct any player to either touch out at
centre court or circle the court without touching the ball.
Remember, if you do get in the way of play on purpose whilst circling the court the referee
can and will make you circle the court a second time even if the other team has scored within
this time.
• Mallets should not be swung higher than handlebar height around other players.
If someone was hit with a mallet it would break the like for like contact rule.
