  1. What is the rule of the ball crossing net? Can you hit it around the net, or does it have to cross over?

Hi Erik,

The ball doesn't have to go over the net.  It is allowed to pass around the side of the net post.

Hitting the Ceiling

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.
