In a deciding set, when the team on the left is receiving first, record an X in the first Service Rounds box on both the far left and far right sides of the score sheet.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only on the far left side
• D. Only on the far right side

Answer: (B)

In scorekeeping, Service Rounds show when each team serves and how many times they’ve served in a round. In a deciding set, if the team on the left is receiving first, the team on the right serves first, so you place the first mark in the first Service Rounds box on the far right. You don’t mark the far left side at this point because that team isn’t serving yet. If the left team were serving first, you would instead mark the far left side. So the statement is false because only the server’s side gets the first X, not both sides.
