Whose point is it if a player hits the ball when it is yet above the table but the angle of the ball is such that it will go out past the table?

Hi Kaustubh,

If the ball is over the table then they lose the point even if it was going out.

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.
