Could someone explain the rules of doubles and how players switch, rotate, etc through a 5 game match. I’m trying to explain it to some garage players, but they don’t believe me. They said if they saw it posted on here they’d accept it. Thanks for indulging me, I know this is an offbeat request. Thank you!
Also, is there more than one way to play doubles (rules).

2.13 THE ORDER OF SERVING, RECEIVING AND ENDS

2.13.1 The right to choose the initial order of serving, receiving and ends shall be
decided by lot and the winner may choose to serve or to receive first or to
start at a particular end.

2.13.2 When one player or pair has chosen to serve or to receive first or to start at a
particular end, the other player or pair shall have the other choice.

2.13.3 After each 2 points have been scored the receiving player or pair shall
become the serving player or pair and so on until the end of the game, unless
both players or pairs score 10 points or the expedite system is in operation,
when the sequences of serving and receiving shall be the same but each
player shall serve for only 1 point in turn.

2.13.4 In each game of a doubles match, the pair having the right to serve first shall
choose which of them will do so and in the first game of a match the receiving
pair shall decide which of them will receive first; in subsequent games of the
match, the first server having been chosen, the first receiver shall be the
player who served to him or her in the preceding game.

2.13.5 In doubles, at each change of service the previous receiver shall become the
server and the partner of the previous server shall become the receiver.

2.13.6 The player or pair serving first in a game shall receive first in the next game of
the match and in the last possible game of a doubles match the pair due to
receive next shall change their order of receiving when first one pair scores 5
points.

2.13.7 The player or pair starting at one end in a game shall start at the other end in
the next game of the match and in the last possible game of a match the
players or pairs shall change ends when first one player or pair scores 5
points.

2.14 OUT OF ORDER OF SERVING, RECEIVING OR ENDS

2.14.1 If a player serves or receives out of turn, play shall be interrupted by the
umpire as soon as the error is discovered and shall resume with those players
serving and receiving who should be server and receiver respectively at the
score that has been reached, according to the sequence established at the
beginning of the match and, in doubles, to the order of serving chosen by the
pair having the right to serve first in the game during which the error is
discovered.

2.14.2 If the players have not changed ends when they should have done so, play
shall be interrupted by the umpire as soon as the error is discovered and shall
resume with the players at the ends at which they should be at the score that
has been reached, according to the sequence established at the beginning of
the match.

2.14.3 In any circumstances, all points scored before the discovery of an error shall
be reckoned.

In case they have any doubts, here is where you find the official rules of the game. Note they don't start until Page 24.

Incidentally, have you managed to convince them that games are to 11 points yet? :lol: When I started playing again about 5 years ago the two places I played were still playing to 21 points... :lol: :lol: :lol:

The most common cases of dispute for doubles rules are resolved by paragraphs 2.13.4 - 2.13.6 above.

Diagonal serve rule is also important:
Quote:
2.6.3 - As the ball is falling the server shall strike it so that it touches first his or her court and then touches directly the receiver's court ; in doubles, the ball shall touch successively the right half court of server and receiver.

In my experience most people know about this one (and indeed the question was specifically about those other rules as detailed by haggisv), but my experience is from club games. Recreational settings may be different...

Thanks for the replies. Another question: during game 2, do the other two players that weren’t involved in the initial serve of the first serve and receive to start out game number two? And does this continue with game three seeing the players of game 1 and the initial serve start serving and receiving on the first point again. Sorry if I worded that poorly. They are asking about this now haha. Thank you guys for the help.

Game 2, the receiving pair from game 1 can decide who is to serve, then the one in the original serving pair from game 1 who did not receive from them has to receive. Again the same for game 3 - the original 1st server from game 1 does not have to serve 1st in game 3. In each succeeding game, the pair whose turn it is to serve can decide who serves first and then the other pair's receiver is determined.
