Refusing Legal Serves
Rules
Bradley Thibodeau Asked 5 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.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
