Double Play positioning
Rules
Marcel VanCamp Asked 11 years ago
For doubles play- does the serving team set their positions first and then the receiving team or is there another sequence that is to be followed?

Hi Marcel,
In the first game, the server decides who is serving first and the receiving team is then allowed to decide who is going to receive. Often in doubles the team winning the toss will decide to receive first for this purpose.
In the next game the roles are reversed but you do have to hit to the other player.
