Waxing Rules
I-1 After practice shots but before play begins, any one player may request additional wax be applied with the shaker to all or part of the court. One practice shot allowed each player.
I-2 If 3 or more players request a full clean and re-wax, it shall be done, providing wind wax is not being used. If wind wax, either commercial or any other mixture is used, it will not be removed unless all 4 players on the court agree that the court is not playable and an appeal is made to the Tournament Director who makes the final decision.
I-3 During play, additional shaker wax to all or part of the court for the purpose of increasing disc speed will be done only if requested by 3 or more of the players. It will be applied before the beginning of the next half frame. Each player is allowed one practice shot.
I-4 Wind gusts, stick tracks or discs being moved about may cause small areas to become
bare. Spot waxing of these bare spots may be requested by any one player. This spot
waxing will be applied just before the requesting player next shoots. Only the bare areas should receive wax. The Referee will be the sole judge as to the extent of the area that should receive wax and the amount of wax to replace the displaced wax.
