When preparing for a serve, does the server have to show the blade in view (above table) of the opponent?

Hi Andy,

You don’t have to show your opponent the racket before the serve. This was a rule in the past but not any longer.

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.
