Rules

Good afternoon from the Philippines :) During service, if the ball accidentally bounces on the edge of the opponent's side of the table, will that be counted as a point or a let? If it's a point, who will be rewarded: the server or the receiver?

Hi Amadeo,

That is the server's point. For the serve to be good it just has to touch somewhere on the receiver's side.  The edge is counted as part of their side of the table.
