How do timeouts work
Rules
Michael Le Asked 4 years ago
When I play at home, I sometimes get a little tired. Is there such thing as time outs? If there is, how does it work?

Hi Michael,
There are timeouts. Both players get one timeout per match. The timeout lasts for 1 minute.
The player that calls the timeout can end the timeout any time during the 1 minute and then the other player has to return to play as well.

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.

So, if it was during my timeout, and I ended it. No matter what they are doing, my opponent has to continue playing.
Yes that is right. They need to come straight back to the table and continue.
