Hi Alois

I was wondering is there such thing as a second serve.  Just say if I served the ball it hit the net and it went over will that be the other persons point do I have to serve it again.

Hi Enoch,

This is called a "Let".  You never lose a point for serving a let so even if you serve 10 lets in a row it is still a let and you need to serve again.

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.
