I watched a video where 2 ladies were playing a rally for more then a minute.The umpire then said 'time'.Is there a time limit rule now?

Hi Jasper,
This will be the "Expedite Rule". If a game goes for more than 10 minutes then all the points after that the server needs to win the point within 13 shots.

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.

You should talk about this in your next YouTube video
Hi Jasper,
I just remembered we covered this in a PingSkills Show called Ma Long's Dominance. Look for the remember when section.

Oh thanks,I wasn't even aware of this rule until recently...And another video I saw was 2 defenders pushing for 10 minutes in 1 point...... No wonder they added this rule

It would be more interesting if it was an attacking rally for such a long time.What do you guys think?

Attack vs attack for 10 minutes in a row?
Considering the effort needed to attack these polypropylen balls,I think it is not physically possible...

If it was possible it would be more entertaining

Offense s much more physicall demanding than pushing. You can try yourself with a robot or multiball partner to succesfully loop against block or loop 10mins in a row
