What is a foul in rounders?

Answer 1

In rounders, a foul occurs when a batter hits the ball but it does not land within the designated play area or when they fail to make a legitimate attempt to hit the ball. If the ball is hit and goes outside the boundary lines without touching the ground, it is also considered a foul. Foul balls do not count as strikes, but if a player accumulates three strikes, they are out. Additionally, a player cannot be put out on a foul ball unless it is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground.
