Serve hitting the net
Rules
Robert MazCopa Asked 8 years ago
What happens when the server hits the net with the ball during a serve or hits the ball into the net and the ball stays in his/her court ? Is a point rewarded to the receiver?

Hi Robert,
If the ball hits the net on a serve but then lands correctly on the other side of the table then it is called a 'Let'. You just stop and replay the point.
If the ball hits the net and then doesn't land correctly on the other side it is the other player's point.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
