Before switching sides, exit scores should be entered on the left and far right for the team starting on the left.

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

Answer: (B)

Scores on the scoreboard are tied to the team on each specific court side. The left-hand number belongs to the team on the left, and the right-hand number belongs to the team on the right. When teams switch sides, the players move, but the scoreboard must reflect the new arrangement so that the left score is now associated with the team occupying the left side, and the right score with the team on the right. You don’t fix the left-side score to the team that started on the left regardless of where they are after the switch. Before and after switching sides, you update which team is represented on each side so that the numbers accurately follow the sides. That’s why the statement is not correct.
