Rules
Victor Quek Asked 14 years ago
Is it legal to step over the end-line, near to the net, beside the table, while I want to receive the ball on my top-left or top-right?

Hi Victor,
Yes you can step past the end line. In fact you are allowed to move anywhere on the court even past the net if you need to.
When you are serving the ball must be behind the end line.

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.
