Hi Keno,

Some part of the ball must touch the top of the table. If it only touches the side it is not in. If it clips the edge on the top of the table it is in.

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.
