Hi Chee,

You have to throw the ball out of your hand.  It then has to go up at least the height of the net off your hand and then when it is coming down you have to hit it.  You aren't allowed to hit it twice.

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.
