Hi Daniel,

If the ball goes out past the table it is out.  Even if it then hits your body it is still out.

If you are over the table and it hits your body then it will be their 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.
