Bat touching the table

Rules

Varun Chaturvedi Asked 12 years ago

If our bat touches the table while playing is it a foul?

Hi Varun,

This is OK, you do not lose a point if your bat touches the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

However if you move the table surface you lose the 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.
