Excessive Swing - Dangerous play Excessive swing can probably be best described as the swing of a tennis player. Players (if they have a straight arm swinging action), while not intentionally trying to be dangerous, can breach the rules under "dangerous play". The Referee must determine if the player's swing is dangerous and apply a "Conduct warning" or "Conduct penalty" under Rule 17. If an injury results from dangerous play the Referee shall award the match to the injured player. The player who caused the injury, the remaining points/games forfeited, retains all points won.
