The score is called out as three numbers: your score, the opponent’s score, and the server number
Only the serving team can score points
In doubles, the first server on a team serves until that team loses a rally
The second server then serves until that team loses a rally
After both servers lose serve, the serve goes to the other team
In doubles, the server number is 1 for the first server and 2 for the second server
In doubles, the score is announced as server’s score, opponent’s score, server number
Example: 4-2-1 means the serving team has 4 points, the opponents have 2 points, and the first server is serving
At the start of a doubles game, the score is 0-0-2
The first serving team starts with only one server
In singles, the score is announced as server’s score, opponent’s score
In singles, the server serves from the right side when their score is even
In singles, the server serves from the left side when their score is odd
In doubles, the serving side starts from the right when their score is even
In doubles, the serving side starts from the left when their score is odd
A point is earned when the serving team wins a rally
A side-out happens when the serve passes to the other team
Keep track of the score before each serve
Call the score loudly and clearly before serving
Switch serving sides after each point in doubles
Continue serving until a fault or side-out occurs
