• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only on some occasions
• D. It depends on the server

Answer: (B)

In a deciding set, you keep track of every rally as it happens and update the score accordingly, then switch ends at the designated point when the set requires it. You don’t prefill a block of “exit scores” on the far left or far right of the score sheet before switching sides. The score sheet is filled in real time: each rally ends, the team that won the rally increases its score in the current score area, and when it’s time to switch ends you simply reverse which side of the sheet represents which team and continue scoring. So the statement is not correct because there isn’t a procedure that requires entering all exit scores on the far left and far right before the side switch. Enter scores as rallies occur, reflect the current score for each team, and then switch sides when required, continuing with the updated sides.
