Do you shout let
Rules
Joseph Creamer Asked 11 years ago
If you serve a let, who shouts let? is it me, my opponent or does the umpire shout let?

Hi Joseph,
It is only the umpire that is allowed to call a let. Often if the players think that the serve is a let they will put their hand up while still playing 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.

And who calls a let in a lower level matches where are no umpires?
Then both players should agree.

I've seen many low level matches with umpires where the player who saw the let overruled the umpire and the other player abided.
Yesterday I was 6-2 up in fifth set when my opponent complained about the ball being wet. I offered a replay and he accepted. However, I was not sure about the matter and kept musing over the sincerity of the call, losing 9 points in a row.
There's a thin line between being a ruthless player and a complacent one.

Dieter, I understand the situation, but isn't the psychological aspect of the game being able put the past points/calls behind you and focusing on the next point? If it was 9-9 and this situation arose, I might be a little off-tilt, but having a 6-3 lead is a situation where there should only allow minimal influence on your mental state, or do you disagree?
