Ball Rolling on the table
Rules
Kronos Chow Asked 14 years ago
Hi coach,
Recently I have watched a shot on youtube:

The ball rolls on the table after the player in blue returned it. Does rolling in table tennis considered a double (or more) bounce?

Hi Kronos,
Interesting question.
In this case the ball does bounce a little so it would be impossible to return. I have seen balls that skid over the table fast and are returned by the other player.
I think in its purest form a roll would have to be considered one bounce.

Side of Table
If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
