Rules in changing the serve
Rules
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I confused with the rules in changing the serve. My school still uses the old rules. When the total point of both players reaches 5 (multiples of 5) the serve changes side. Could you give me the specific rules especially in serving, please? Thanks before! :D

Hi Archel,
Since they changed games to be up to 11 points we now change serve after 2 points.
Take a look at this Table Tennis Rules (PDF) brochure that is available from the Free Downloads section of our site. There is a link to the Free Downloads right at the bottom of each page.
This brochure will give you an outline of the rules. You can even take it to school and show then the new rules.

In this video we explain what happens when someone hits the ball before it bounces in a rally. This is also known as hitting the ball on the full. The point stop immediately when this happens but who's point is it? This depends on where the ball was hit. Watch the video to find out more.
