There are three walls, a front and a back and one on the side. The three walls and the court together, is known as the fronton. The object of the game is to throw the ball at the wall in such a way that it is hard for the opponent to catch and return. The opponent needs to be able to catch it before it hits the ground or after its first bounce and return it back to the wall. The Serve The game is started by serving the ball. The server must bounce the ball behind the serving line, and hurl the ball with the cesta directly to the front wall so that upon rebound, it will bounce between lines No. 4 and 7. If it does not, it is an under or over serve and the opposing team will receive the point. Scoring Points The ball must be caught on the fly or on the first bounce. Also, the ball must be caught and thrown in "one fluid motion". The judges will rule juggling if the ball "pops up" or if it is held for "more than the required time". All three walls of the court are in play - with the red denoting out-of-bounds. In "Spectacular Seven" scoring, the point value is 1 until each team has played once and thereafter, the point value is doubled.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Jai Alai Table of Contents Early History In the United States Other Resources Early History The sport known in America as jai alai is just one of a family of ball-and-wall games known by that name in the Spanish Basque region. The family is called pelota vasca (Basque ball) in Spain. Jai alai means "merry festival" in the Basque language. It was applied to the games because they were so often associated with festive events. Versions of the game are played with the bare hand, with a gloved hand, with a strung racket, and with a solid paddle. There are also one-wall, two-wall, and three-wall versions, as well as a version played, much like a squash, on a small covered court called the trinquet. The form of jai alai played in the United States is cesta punta, in which the players use long, basket-like gloves to propel the small, hard, rubber-cored ball at speeds of up to 160 miles an hour. There are several theories about the origin of the sport. Some believe it descended from similar games played in ancient Egypt and Greece. Others think it originated in the ball games of pre-Columbian Central America; according to that theory, the idea for the game was brought back to Spain by the conquistadors. The most likely theory is that jai alai grew out of the same family of games that originated in the French jeu de paume and culminated in court tennis Spanish explorers may not have brought the sport itself back from the Americas, but they did bring the rubber used in the lively ball that greatly speeded up the sport.

Next: The Basques Up: Excerpts from Calculated Bets: Previous: 2. The Making of 3. What is Jai-Alai? Jai-alai is a sport of Basque origin where opposing players or teams alternate hurling a ball against the wall and catching it, until one of them finally misses and loses the point. The throwing and catching is done with an enlarged basket or cesta , the ball or pelota is made of goat skin and hard rubber, and the wall is of granite or concrete; ingredients which lead to fast and exciting action. It is a popular spectator sport in Europe and the Americas. In the United States, jai-alai is most associated with the states of Florida, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, which permit parimutuel wagering on the sport. In this chapter, we will delve deeper into the history and culture of jai-alai. From the purely crass goal of winning money through gambling, much of this material is not strictly necessary, but a little history and culture never hurt anybody. Be my guest if you want to skip on ahead to the more mercenary or technical parts of the book, but don't neglect to review the basic types of bets in jai-alai and the Spectacular Seven scoring system. Understanding the implications of the scoring system is perhaps the single most important factor in successful jai-alai wagering.
