hi, according to the ITTF rule book. 2.10 A POINT 2.10.1 Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point 2.10.1.8 if an opponent, or anything an opponent wears or carries, moves the playing surface; Does this means that if the racket touches the playing surface, the opponent scores a point.

Hi Abhinav,
This is talking about actually moving the surface of the table. You are allowed to touch the table with anything except your free hand.

Side of Table
If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.

Hi Abhinav,
The racket often touches the table and doesn’t move the surface. This is OK. As for wilful damage that is another matter. I am sure the umpire will be able to tell the difference between the two.
