When playing a game to 21 when the score reaches 20/20 you have to win by 2 points does the person who is in the advantage and serving does he still get 5 serves and switch? How does it play out?

Hi Glen,

When we used to play up to 21 when the score reached 20 all then the players have one serve each until someone gets 2 point ahead.

Now it is the same case when playing to 11.  After 10 all the players have one serve each until one players gets 2 points ahead.
