Change of ends
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.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.

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.
