In a deciding set, what is the correct notation when the left-side player continues to serve after the court switch?

• A. The notation with a check mark in the service round box on the far right
• B. The notation with no check mark in the service round box on the far right
• C. The notation with a slash in the Points column on the far right
• D. The notation with a cross in the service area

Answer: (B)

In a deciding set, the score sheet uses the service round box on the far right to mark when a new server takes over and a new service sequence begins. If the left-side player keeps serving after the court switch, the same server continues and no new service round starts. So the correct notation is to leave that service round box blank (no mark). This shows continuity in service without resetting the rally sequence. The other symbols would imply a change in who is serving or a different notation convention, which doesn’t apply when the same player remains the server after the switch.
