Strangest bounce, is it in play?

Rules

Hi guys, during a point i hit a shot that tipped the net, bounced on top of the plastic side piece holding the net and spun back onto the table on the other side. I doubt I'll ever see THAT again but in case i do, how would you rule that ??

You guys rock,  George

Hi George,

That would be in.  The Net Post is considered part of the net so the bounce on the plastic support is just considered another bounce on the net.  As long as it then hits the table, it is in play.
