Rules
Hi.
If the server tosses the ball but misses the ball during the serve does the point still count?
Hi John,
As soon as the ball leaves the hand it is in play. So if they throw it up and miss they lose the point.
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.
