When switching sides in a deciding set, should all points recorded in the far left points column be slashed in the far right points column?

In volleyball, when a match reaches a deciding set, teams switch sides after one team reaches a predetermined number of points, typically 8 in the case of a first-to-15 scoring system. The points recorded in the score sheet do not need to be slashed or transferred to the other side’s points column. This is because the points scored during the first half of the deciding set remain relevant to the overall match statistics and are not altered or erased simply because the teams have switched sides.

The objective of slashing points would imply a reset or a confusion in the scorekeeping process, which does not apply during side changes in a deciding set. Instead, the focus should be on maintaining correct records of points scored throughout the match to accurately account for performance and statistics.
