5. 1. INTRODUCTION The Umpire Score-sheet uses an open-ended method where the numbers of the score are written down after each rally. The score is entered in a double row of boxes (one row for each playing side) with only one score per vertical pair ofboxes. Each vertical pair represents one rally. This gives an easy to read method to determine which side has won therally and is having right to serve (as the serving side is always the one with the score at the front except at the beginningof the game i.e. ahead by one vertical block). If a game fills one double row, the scores are continued on the next double row. The score should be entered with clear precise numbers. The Score-sheet is a tool to assist the Umpire and inthe moment of “panic” when the exact situation is not clearly remembered. Score-sheet must be as legible aspossible so as to reduce the chance of making an error. It should assist the Referee to make a decision in case of anappeal. Page 5

DURING PLAY 14:Write the new score in the next available box, in the row of the next server’s name. 15: In doubles, the players of the receiving side shall not change their respectiveservice courts until they win a point ontheir service. Thus, when a side loses the right to serve, the player who was serving at that time, shall continue to bein the same service court from where he last served, until his side gains right to serve again and wins a point. 16:e.g. In diagram 1 – Tang served from right service court when the score was 4-0, he will continue to be in the rightservice court until his side gets right to serve and the score becomes 6-7 when Tang will shift to the left servicecourt.
