Small Claims Help please

My claim is being defended so I've been notified of proposed allocation to the Small Claims Track. I have to complete the form by 16 April and return it to the court office and "serve copies on all other parties". Does that mean I do extra copies for the court to serve on the defendant or do I have to actually send a photo copy of the form to the defendant.
Also at the moment, I 've just provided a precis of what and why I'm claiming. Should I send actual copies of my evidence to the court or the defendant or is this done at the hearing?
There will always be:
A “LIE” in BELIEVE, an “OVER” in LOVER, an “END” in FRIEND, an “US” in TRUST , and an “IF” in LIFE ;)

    You have to serve a copy on the Defendant (or their legal representative, if they are represented). The court won't do it for you.

    After the allocation questionnaire has been received, the next step is for the court to send out directions.

    The directions will set a date for the court hearing and a date for the parties to exchange evidence (usually 14 days before the hearing). That is when you provide your evidence.
