For a serve can I bounce the ball on my side then hit it directly to the other side

Hi Kareem,

You are not allowed to do that.  The ball has to hit the bat before it hits the table on your side.

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.
