Before the start of the play, the choice of side or
service is decided by conducting a toss of coin.

The side winning the toss, may decide:

the match
2. Serving

from the right side of the court to the
opposite diagonal side.

2. Only the player standing in the proper


service court may return the serve (doubles

3. Following the serve, players may move


anywhere on their side of the net.
3. When the score is even, the server
serves from the right service court.
When it is odd, the server serves from
the left court.

4. If the serving side wins a rally, the


serving side scores a point and the
same server serves again from the
alternate service court.

respective service courts until they win
a point while their side is serving.
