Hi, I,m Alex from Leon, Spain. my question is: if I serve and the ball bounces in my camp, and after, bounces twice in other camp, is point for me or for other player? Thanks and sorry, my english is very bad.

Hi Alex,

The serve has to bounce both in your side and the opponents side to be good.  It is allowed to bounce as many times as you like on the other side of the table.

Take a look at our lesson on How To Serve.

So if I sack and the ball bounces once in my area and then the ball bounces 2 or 3 times in his area, does the game continue if the opponent returns the ball correctly?

Hi Alex,

As soon as the ball bounces twice on his side the point is over and you win the point.

Yes if your opponent lets it go it would be able to bounce more than once.

Hi,

i was searching for this question and realised that there are many people who have this quarry. What is the reason that although it is  a rule, many people dont know it and think otherwise(or have doubts)?

Some players haven't seen the game enough to know about it I guess.
