• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

In scoring notation, a service round mark is used to show when the server changes. If the player on the left keeps serving after a switch, the server hasn’t changed, so the service round doesn’t restart and no check mark is added over the service round number. The mark exists to indicate a new server taking over, not just a rotation that leaves the same player in place. So in this situation, the statement is true: no check mark is made because the service responsibility remains with the same server.
