1. Starting at the toss, the sidethat chooses to serve, names the 1st server. The side the chooses to receive, name the 1st receiver. Both these players begin in the right service box the score being 0-0 (Love all).

2. If the serving side wins the rally, (1-love), the server moves to the left box and continue the service. If the serving side wins again (2-love), the server moves to the right box and continues the service. This continues until the serving side loses the rally. If the score is an even number, the service will always come from the right service box. If the score is an odd number, the service will always be delivered from the left service box.

3. When the receiving side wins the rally (service over, 1-2), service is given to the player in the LEFT service box.

4. Note that the players only change boxes on the service side.

5. The pattern of service always follow the same sequence. A (server) B(teamate) X(teamate) Y receiver. The service pattern will always be A, Y, B, X, A, Y, B, X. If you are a player, you will always follow and be followed by the same player in the same order throughout the game. (servers/receives can be changed in game 2 and game 3 - so the order may be different if the order picked is different).
