Sorry, let me correct that:
If x was the server at the start of game 2 (instead of y), would he serve to b?

In game 3 using your example:
If A is the server, then Y would be the receiver (at start of game).

Thank you

1. Yes correct - x to b or y to a.

2. Yes correct - as in game 1 back to a to y (or b could serve to x)

Hurray! In game 4, Y decides to serve first, so A would be the receiver?

In game 5, B decides to serve first, so X is the receiver.
In game 5, the sides have swiched as A is serving to Y, and the score is 5 to 0 (in favor of Team A/B).
At this point, Y becomes the server, and B becomes the receiver. When this occurs, the new server and reciever will only play one point, and then the server will change again (B will serve two serves X)?

Yes Y would serve to A in game 4 (same as game 2)

Yes B to X in game 5 (to start, same as game 3)

At 5-0 if A is serving to Y, they swap ends and receivers so A continues with the next serve to X. Then at 0-6 or 1-5 X serves to B.

Wanted to thank Dusty and everyone that contributed to my question. We were playing wrong, and it feels great to have doubles on the right track. Excelsior!

Just out of curiosity - are you still playing 21 point games? The folks at the office here bought a table for the lobby around 4 years ago (which was part of the reason I started playing again and discovered this forum and AliExpress) - as far as I know, they're STILL playing to 21 points!

Hi Iskandar. We are playing to 11. I have to say though, the interest is not what I’d like it to be. People
Want to hit around, then singles play, and then a little doubles, but most go home. I don’t know if they get tired after round robin play, or what? I believe some people just don’t think Doubles is important, but it is. I can’t be King of the Basement circuit, but I do have a shot at the doubles. Glad you are playing again, and it is great talking to you on here!
