Rules
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
I have seen many matches in which players change there side during a set. Why is it so? I have given a link below. At 9:09 they change their side.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5xQpZBVMJw

Hi Sourav,
You will notice in this clip that it is the deciding 7th set.
When the first player reaches 5 in the deciding set the players change ends. It is only in the deciding set though.

I don't like this rule, I don't see the benefit of it
Hi Kevin,
Sometimes players feel there is an advantage at one end so this evens things up.
