Racquetball is a sport played with racquets and a hollow rubber ball on an indoor or outdoor court. It was invented by Joe Sobek in 1948 incorporating rules from squash and handball. Unlike most racquet sports (such as Tennis or Badminton), usage of the walls, floor, and ceiling of the court is considered legal in the context of the sport, rather than out-of-bounds. The game is normally played by two opposing players, though variations involving three and four players are also commonly played. Games involving two players are called singles or '1-Ups' (the upsurging of this colloquialism may be speculatively a result of video games, where an extra life or '1-Up' may be granted via special circumstances), three player games are typically called 'Ironman' (2 on 1 during entire game) or 'Cutthroat' (each player take turns serving to the other 2). A variation of a 3 player game is 'California' where it is basically singles style play, however the player that lost the point stays in the back of the court while the other two play the next point. Four player games are called doubles.
