Hi Yashant,

There have been a few rule changes over the past few year.

The latest is that if you hit the ball twice with the one swing accidentally, it is a legal hit.

Some other changes that have changed the game are that you play games up to 11 with 2 serves each and the ball has changed size to a 40 mm diameter.

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.
