Points and Court Switch

Fig. 14: The actual starting time is recorded and the first server is being marked.

At the start of the first set, the actual starting time is recorded ("Start time") and the first server is marked.

Example: 15:00 o'clock, server 2 of team A (Seidl).

In the box, in which the first server has been recorded, the score the server’s team reached is recorded once he loses his service. The points made by a team are recorded in the running score.

Example: Team B scores on the service of team A. Therefore, player 2 of team A has served until point 0 of his team and a “0” is recorded. The first point of team B and the next service player (player 2 of team B) is marked.
