What happens when the ball bounces on my oponents side with enough backspin it returns over the net without being hit? Who does the point go to?

Hi Kieran,

That is your point.  Your opponent needs to hit the ball before it touches your side again for th point to continue.

The Mercy Rule

Some people talk about a rule where if you get to a seven nil lead, you automatically win the game. However in table tennis there is no such rule. To win the game you must get to 11 points and be ahead by 2.
