At the end of a deciding set, the score draws a T-bar through all unused points only in the middle and far right points columns on the score sheet.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only left

Answer: (A)

In scorekeeping, a T-bar through unused entries shows which point slots were not used in the set. For a deciding set, the standard rule is to draw that T-bar through all unused point entries only in the middle and far-right point columns on the score sheet. These columns are the ones used to record the points for that set, so striking through the unused spaces there keeps the record clear and unambiguous. Marking unused spaces in other areas would misrepresent the tally and create confusion when reviewing the sheet. This convention helps ensure consistency and accuracy in the official score, especially in a tense deciding set.
