Hi,when playing doubles and i'm serving down the middle of the table,is it a foul when any part of the ball crosses the centre line or does the whole of the ball need to be over the line before i loose the point.Who does the centre line belong to.

Hi Barry,

As long as some part of the ball touches the line it is a good serve.

 This is often difficult to tell since the ball is so small and the line so thin.

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.
