Refusing Legal Serves
Rules
Bradley Thibodeau Asked 6 years ago
My company has a work table tennis league with 14 players right now. My biggest issue is that I'm one of only 3 or 4 players who serve legally. Everyone else holds the ball over the table and serves from their fingertips. Do you have any advice for convincing a crowd of amateur players to play by ITTF rules?

Hi Bradley,
That is a really difficult one.
You could put up a copy of the table tennis rules brochure that we have. This may help to convince them, however, if nobody wants to play by the rules you may be in trouble.

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.
