What if my Opponent's Ball is already out, then I Accidentally hit it with my Racket then Goes back to my Opponent's table? Who's Point?

Hi Jeffrey,

As soon as the ball passes over the table it is out.  So it would be your point.  The first mistake always counts so the first mistake in this case is that the ball went out of the court.

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.
