HI ,I wonder if it is invalid serve if you serve on the opponent's white border.

Hi Hampus,

The white line is in so if you serve the ball and it hits the while line it is still in.

The only reasons they have the white line is so that it is easier to see the end of the table.

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.
