Rules
Is it compulsory to toss the ball?
Hi Shiva,
Yes, when you serve the ball you must throw it at least 16.25cm high which is basically the height of the net.
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
