Ball in play or out
Rules
Paul Meli Asked 7 years ago
Alois we have a table in our works canteen which has a low roof. My question is this, if a shot is played that hits the ceiling and then lands on the opposing side is it considered a point or a foul stroke.
Cheers

Hi Paul,
As soon as it touches something else such as the roof it is considered out and the player that hit the ball loses a point.

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.
