Rules

In this point we see the NZ player successfully return the ball but it was around the net (didn't go above it) and it counted as his point.

Previously i had assumed the point is only awarded if it goes over the net only?

In table tennis what is the rule regarding this type of scenario?

P.S and Thanks Alois and Jeff on casting this match here :D

Hi Aaron,

This was an amazing shot... we were happy to be broadcasting it.

The ball doesn't have to go over the top of the net to be in.  It can go around the net.  It just isn't allowed to go through the net... if there is a hole in it...
