Rules
Hello,
If my opponent was to return the ball too far and it misses the table, but it also inadvertently hits my racket before falling to the ground, who would be rewarded the point?
P.S. Thank you very much for taking time out of your day and answering all of these questions!
Hi Nico,
If the ball goes out past the table and then hits your racket then it will still be your point because it has already gone out. If however your racket was above the table surface and you hit it before it bounces then it is your opponent's point.
Hope that clears it up for you.
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.
