After the teams switch sides in a deciding set, which is true about recording exit scores?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Always

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that scorekeeping in a deciding set stays continuous across side changes. When teams switch ends, you do not reset the score to zero or generate a separate value called an exit score. The tally at the end of the last rally before the switch remains the score as play resumes on the other side, and you continue toward the final point target. Since there isn’t a special recording required for an “exit score” just because of the side switch, stating that you always record something extra in that moment isn’t accurate. The score carried over is the only one that matters, which is why this statement isn’t true.
