1.0 RPR - Understand the basic rules of roundnet.

Understands the serving and scoring rotations. Serving rotation: If the serving team wins a point, the server switches starting positions with his or her teammate on the following point. Scoring rotation: For every 5 points played, all players rotates one spot counter clockwise. This is meant to "level the playing field" (thank you) if one side of the court is especially sunny or windy.
