SERVICE FIELDS
Single
- The server serves from the server on the right, to the right of the receiver: to start the set (next to the result 0-0), and when the server's score is even (e.g. 4:7)
- The server serves from the server's left field, to the left field of the receiver when the result is odd (e.g. 5:2)
Thick
- The server serves from the server on the right, to the right of the receiver: to start the set (next to the result 0-0), and when the serving side's score is even (e.g. 4:7)
- The server serves from the server's left field, to the receiver's left square when the score of the server is odd (e.g. 5:2)
- If the server side wins the trade, this scores a point and the same player serves again, but from the second service box (e.g. if he served right, it's now left).
- Only the serving player changes the service area, when he scores more points.
- The receiving side does not change its setting, when the serving side scores more points by alternating left and right servos.
