Scrapper, there are a couple of reasons that we have adopted the USAV technique of attempting to get to the side of the net that lost the rally. If your partner needs a little help because of uncertainty as to who won the rally, if you are always on the side that you are sure LOST the rally, it tells your partner that the other side gets the point. The other reason is the one that Felix and Bob both have mentioned...it puts you on the side of the net that you have to be on for the next serve. One major element is avoid getting caught behind the pole! It is awfully hard to communicate with each other if you can't see each other. It is not a requirement to do so, but it is an aid to your partner in case of doubt.
