What are the three numbers in pickleball doubles scoring and what do they represent?
-The three numbers in pickleball doubles scoring represent the server score (how many points the serving team has), the receiver score (how many points the receiving team has), and the server number (indicating which player on the serving team is serving, either the first or the second player).
How does a pickleball doubles match start in terms of scoring?
-A pickleball doubles match starts with the score 0-0-2, indicating that the serving team has 0 points, the receiving team has 0 points, and the first player on the serving team is serving.
What happens when the serving team wins a point in pickleball doubles?
-When the serving team wins a point, the first number (server score) increases by one, and the third number (server number) remains the same if the same player continues to serve, or changes to two if the second player on the serving team starts serving.
What is a 'kitchen' in pickleball and what happens when a fault occurs there?
-The 'kitchen' in pickleball is a specific area similar to a no-volley zone. When a fault occurs in the kitchen, such as a serve landing there, the serving team loses the point and the serve goes to the receiving team.
How does the serve change in pickleball doubles when the serving team loses a point?
-When the serving team loses a point, the serve goes to the receiving team, and the team that was receiving becomes the serving team with the score updated accordingly. The first player from the new serving team starts serving.
What is the significance of the server number in the scoring of pickleball doubles?
-The server number indicates which player from the serving team is currently serving. It changes from one to two when the second player on the serving team starts serving, and it helps to track the rotation of serving players within a team.
What happens when a serving player in pickleball doubles wins a point?
-When a serving player wins a point, the server score increases, the server number remains the same if it's the same player serving, and the team continues to serve from the side they were on previously.
How do players switch sides after a point is scored in pickleball doubles?
-After a point is scored, players switch sides only if the serving team wins the point. If the serving team loses the point, they do not switch sides, but the serve goes to the receiving team and the server number may change.
What are the possible winning scores in a pickleball tournament, as mentioned in the script?
-The possible winning scores in a pickleball tournament can be 11, 15, or 21 points, depending on the format of the tournament.

hello friends welcome to the school of
sports in this video i'll be explaining
double scoring and pickleball i know
it's really complicated but i'm going to
make it
very easy for you to understand how
scoring works and pickleball doubles
now if you don't know how pickleball is
played i have a separate video
pickleball rules how to play pickleball
beginner's guide that explains how
pickleball is played what pickleball is
beautifully i would want you to watch
that video before watching this video
because
once you know how pickleball is played
we can talk about the scoring in doubles
so let's get started with scoring in
doubles
now when we talk about scoring in
doubles here you can see there's a team
white and team yellow in team white
there's a player a
and b in team yellow there's player x
and y and in scoring you see there are
three numbers
so what does those three numbers
represent in singles there are just two
numbers when we talk
about scoring but in doubles there are
three numbers so what does those three
numbers mean
well the first number is the server
score so since here the white team is
serving
however many points they have it would
be
the first number the first number is the
score that the serving team has
now the second number is receiver score
how many points
the receiving team have that is the
second number
the third number is basically a new
number so first two is like single
server score receiver score the third
number is
server number so because in doubles
there are two players
this number would be either one or
either two
this number is one when they when the
team is so
when the first player of team is serving
and this number would be two when the
second player would be serving
okay so how the match gets started is 0
0 2 if you see a is player 1
and b is player 2 now because b is
serving that's how they start the
starting is not 0
0 1 they start with 0 0 2 now because
player b
is serving this is 2 and since we just
started match it's 0
0. now player b would serve and
it's a good circle and x hit an outside
shot
so if you don't know what just happened
watch my previous video how pickleball
is played now if you do know what
happened here is x hit the ball outside
so the serving team won the point now
remember
the first number is for serving team
because serving team won the point
this becomes one the receiving team
still has zero
and the because b was selling b one the
point b would continue to serve so this
would still be two
now b would change this side because
like in singles after every serve they
change the point
now because b is going to serve here x
needs to go back
and sorry y needs to go back and
probably x would come forward
so y goes back x comes forward and the
score is now
one zero two one zero two
b is going to sell and it's a false self
this is kitchen so servant kitchen is
fault
now what happens here is because this is
their second serve
they lost the point now what happens is
serve goes to the
receiving team so here
because right now the white team a was
serving
they had one point so we called it one
and
the receiving team yellow had zero we
called it zero and two
the new score would be because yellow
team would be serving
they have zero points it would be zero
and receiving team would be white so
they would have one
and since yellow is serving first time
this two would be
one now out of y and x because x is on
the right hand side
x would serve first and it would be
called one
so x comes back to so uh b comes forward
and this is the new score zero one one y
zero because
team yellow have zero points y one
because receiving team white has one
point and why
one because it's the first player
from yellow team who's serving if they
win the point
first player keep continue to serve if
they lose
it goes to y and then this one becomes
two
and then if they lose the point then
serve goes to the white
team okay so let's see what happens here
x serves a hits it into the net so
yellow team won the point
since they are serving they won the
point it becomes one
white team's point still remains one and
the third one remains one because
x is serving the first player is solving
they want the point
now they are going to switch the side x
goes to the other side to serve so after
every cell
you change the site
now x serves again good so b
it's a good outside shot so again yellow
team wants
so since they are serving they got a
point it becomes two
uh for white it remains one and it's one
because x won the point
since x won the point they change the
side again
excels again good so it hits it back
into the net so what happens
yellow team won a point this becomes
three this still remains one
this remains once because x is still
serving exchange the side
and is going to serve to be so b goes
back
a comes forward and now here
x serves good so b hits an outside shot
again so they want another point this
becomes four
one one and they change the side again
here x is here uh so four one one
x is solving good so a hits a good shot
so
they won the point so this time
the white team won the point remember x
was serving
x was number one now they lost the point
so serve goes to
y so this would become two
the four would remain same because they
didn't get any point now team y didn't
get any point
so that would remain one but what
happens is this one becomes two
uh because yellow was uh yellow team
player x was serving now yellow team
player y would sell
so that becomes two so the score would
be four
one two they would not change side
if so changes remember x was serving
he is here and now they lost the point
so serve
changes so if you see the player would
not change but so would change earlier
they were serving from here
now they would sell from here so either
if you win the point you change the site
if you lose a point then you change the
serve that's how it works
here y serves a good shot and a hits a
good shot again
so now if you see why i was serving
he was number two and they lost the
point
because they lost the point now serve
goes to
white team remember player 1
would serve if they lose the point it
goes to player 2 if they lose the point
it goes to other team if player 1 is
serving
they keep winning player 1 will keep on
serving if they lose it goes to
player two if player two keeps winning
it they would keep serving
if player two loses it goes to other
team now how scoring would change
because
this four represent yellow because they
were serving
now the white team is going to sell how
many points do white have one
so we would say one first because white
would serve now
then who is receiving yellow so we say
four for yellow and then what do we say
one because
the whites are serving for the first
time so score becomes
one four one
so here team white is going to solve one
for one
uh since this is player one player 1 is
going to serve
if player 1 wins continue to serve
if player 1 loses it goes to player 2
then player 2 continues to serve
if then white loses it goes to
team yellow and again it depends upon
the format you
one team might need to win 11 points or
15 points or 21 point it really depends
upon the tournament
so i hope you got the idea now the first
number is server score whoever is
serving
how many points do they have the second
number is receiver score the team that
is receiving how many points do they
have
and the third number is server number
whether it's a first server or second
server
i hope it's very clear if not comment
below what's your doubt and i can
resolve it
thank you so much for watching this
video do share with your friends
it's a kind of little tricky to
understand double scoring
but i've tried to make it very simple
here and
do check out my other videos i've tried
to explain other sports every sport is
so beautiful it's just that we need to
understand the beauty of that sport
what are the important things how it
works and
i'm 100 sure you would fall into love
with any sport once you understand how
it works
so enjoy sports enjoy your life take
care
bye bye
