B) When serving, the server stands behind the baseline to the left or right side. His partner stands near the baseline on the other half of the court. Both players stay back in the court until the return of serve has bounced and has been returned. The returning team sets up with the returner at the baseline and the partner at the kitchen line. If the serving team wins the point, the server and partner alternate sides. If the point is lost, partners stay on their original side.

C) The score is called with the server’s score first, the returner’s score second, and the service number third. The service number refers to which player on a team is serving, with “1” referring to that team’s first server, and “2” referring to the team’s second server. An example score might be 4-2-1; this means that the servers have four points, the returners have two, and the servers still have their first serve. If they lose the next point, the score would go to 4-2-2.
