A team scores by: playing the ball in such a way that the opposing team is unable to play the ball before it has rebounded off the playing floor more than once. playing the ball in such a way that it rebounds off the front wall and rebounds off the floor and outside the playing area. A team may also score by the opposing team: hitting the front wall but either below the low line or above the high line. hitting the ball in time but failing to reach the front wall. Equipment The ball The ball used to play pelota is called pilota in Basque, pelote in French, and pelota in Spanish. There are different sizes, different weights and different materials for each discipline that is played. The ball is made out of a boxwood core from in diameter. This is wrapped in a latex wire (for Hand Pelota, Grand Chistera, Jai-Alai, and open-air Pala). The core of the ball is different for individual age groups so that the weight limit is respected. The core can also be made from latex (for Cesta Punta, Xare, Pala Corta, and Remonte). A wire of pure new wool is then wrapped carefully around the core so that the ball is round and even throughout. A structure of cotton wire is sewed on the surface of the ball so that the wool stays in place. Number eight shapes are cut out from goat skin and are sewn together onto the ball in one or two layers. The gloves (chistera) Some of the disciplines in pelota require the use of a glove or Chistera. Chistera Joko Garbi A short and shallow glove that is used in Joko Garbi and is played on a fronton. Grand Chistera A long and deep glove. In France, the grand Chistera is used to play Grand Chistera on "place libre", and it is called Cesta Punta when it is played on a Jai-Alai. Chistera de Remonte It is only used in Spain for Remonte (played on a Jai-Alai court). It is a shallow glove like the Chistera Joko Garbi but longer. The palas and paletas The Palas and Paletas are wooden made rackets that are used to strike or hit the ball. The difference between them is their weight, length, and width.
