5.1.10.1.The Choice of Serving, Receiving and Ends

• The right to choose the initial order of serving, receiving and ends is decided by lot and the winner may choose to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end.
• When one player or pair has chosen to serve or receive first or to start at a particular end, the other player or pair has the other choice.
• After each 2 points have been scored the receiving player or pair becomes the serving player or pair and so on until the end of the game, unless both players or pairs have scored 10 points when the sequences of serving and receiving are the same but each player serves only 1 point in turn.

Changing Ends and Changing Order in Doubles
Ends are changed at the conclusion of each game or when one player or pair reaches 5 points in the deciding game. In doubles at each change of ends, and in the deciding games, the order is also reversed. In the deciding game this is done by the receivers changing positions.
