Hi Chee Koo,

There are basically 3 extra rules.  

Firstly you have to take it in turns with your partner to hit the ball.

Secondly you need to always serve from your right side box to their right side box (diagonally).

Thirdly you serve two serves to the same side and the same person.

Fourthly after your team finishes your two serve you change sides with your partner.

Take a look at our PDF Table Tennis Rules Brochure.  This outlines the rules of doubles as well.

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.
