My son suffered a broken arm which has damaged some of its nerves.He cannot fully open his palm in tossing the ball.What are the general rules in this kind of case?

Hi Noel,
If he shows the Referee or Umpire at the start of the match then allowances can be made to modify his service action.
Part of the Service rule covers this.
| 2.06.07 | Exceptionally, the umpire may relax the requirements for a correct service where he or she is satisfied that compliance is prevented by physical disability. |

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.
