Double bounce on racket

Rules

When I receive a backspin serve at an awkward angle, the ball sometimes bounces twice on my racket. It's an extremely rare occurence but it does happen. Would this be considered a foul?

Hi Jack,

This is a good shot.  You are now allowed to hit the ball twice as long as it is not intentional.

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.
