Losing on a serve
Rules
Thomas Parker Asked 12 years ago
If the score is point to something and you serve it off the table can you lose, I have heard that it is not possible to lose on a serve but I guess it has happened on the Olympics. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Hi Thomas,
If you make a mistake with your serve you do lose a point straight away. In Table Tennis you don't get a second chance with your serve.
That is one of the reasons that it is important to practice your serves a lot during your training.
It even happens at the Olympics sometimes.

Touching the Table
Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
