Play must be continuous.

Wasting time could be considered an attempt to violate the rules and may result in a "Conduct warning". Subsequent warnings may result in a "Conduct stroke" being awarded to the opponent.

Examples of wasting time include:

• Excessive bouncing of the ball prior to serving,
  
• Unnecessarily talking to the referee and continually asking the score and arguing over the points,
  
• Faking injuries like falling over and asking for a towel to mop up,
  
• Continually tying of shoe laces,
  
• Throwing or hitting the ball outside the court on purpose,
  
• Delaying play by deliberately walking around the court
  
• Not being ready to serve or return the ball, etc.
