Can't see opponents serve contact

Rules

Jasper Low Asked 6 years ago

I see in videos that some people serve a fault but the opponent couldn't receive but did not complain to the Umpire. So if your opponent serves but you can't see the contact, are you allowed to complain to the Umpire?

Hi Jasper,

It is the umpire’s call as to whether the serve is legal or not however it is worth pointing it out to the umpire so they also see it from your perspective.

For an umpire it is really difficult to judge what you are seeing.

Doubles Serving Rules

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.
