  Pickleball Scoring: Who Serves and Which Side, Explained

  Only the serving side scores. In doubles the score is called as three numbers (your side's score, the other side's score, and server 1 or 2), and each side gets two serves before the serve goes over, except at the very start, which is why games open "0-0-2." Games are to 11, win by 2.
