| A | The symbol for a service ace (a serve which is untouched by the receiver in any way). |

| T | The symbol for a Time Violation. An unintentional time violation requires that a warning is given for a first offence and each subsequent violation shall be penalized by the assessment of (1) point penalty. Such penalties should be marked as "T" in the player's box on the scorecard. When a Point Penalty is given, this shall be marked with an "X" for the player who receives the point. |
Now we can start using the scorecard to mark the score. Be sure to always use a pencil that has an eraser when marking the score. The name of the server is Stuart and the initial "S" for Stuart has been placed on the scorecard for the first game.
