Doubles service on the line

Rules

kelvin smith Asked 13 years ago

What happens when you serve in doubles and it hits the middle white line of the table?

Hi Kelvin,

The white line is considered as in. It is difficult to pinpoint when it hits the middle line though as it is usually really fine.

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.

okay, because mainly if it lands on the middle line the opponent usually will call it as 'wrong side'. what should i do then?

This is difficult unless you have a proper umpire. I would point out the rule to them and see what they say. It is often a dispute about the fact of where it landed.
