Rules
Hi Alois
If you put backspin on the ball and it goes onto your opponents side on the court but comes back on your side without the opponent hitting it. Who gets the point? Would it still be in?
Hi Galen,
If you put enough backspin on the ball your opponent has to hit the ball before it comes back onto your side for them to stay in the point.
If they don't hit the ball it is your point.
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
