Rules

For doubles play- does the serving team set their positions first and then the receiving team or is there another sequence that is to be followed?

Hi Marcel,

In the first game, the server decides who is serving first and the receiving team is then allowed to decide who is going to receive.  Often in doubles the team winning the toss will decide to receive first for this purpose.

In the next game the roles are reversed but you do have to hit to the other player.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
