After service and the ball hits the net,if opponent does not ask for a re serve and you lose a point.

And as for a re serve. Is it allowed?

Hi Bryan,

Once the ball hits the net and goes on the table on a serve it is a let.  Either player can not choose to play on.  It must be a let and you have to reserve it.
