Rule 3: player positions
Each pair takes one side of the net. The server puts the ball in play to the receiver standing diagonally opposite, and everyone else may stand anywhere on their own side.
Clausola 1: One pair each side
Each pair of players stays on its own side of the net.
Clausola 2: Server and receiver
The player serving puts the ball in play, and the player diagonally opposite them receives it.
Clausola 3: Receiver stands anywhere
The receiver can stand anywhere on their side of the court.
Clausola 4: Receiver's partner too
The receiver's partner can also stand anywhere on their side.
Clausola 5: Server's partner too
The server's partner can stand anywhere on their side as well. This is why the server's partner usually waits at the net and the receiver's partner often stands near the service line: the rules leave it up to you.
