Table foul
Rules
Santosh More Asked 12 years ago
If I or my bat touches the table while playing a shot is it a foul? and Can I cross the table while playing a shot?

Hi Santosh,
You don't lose a point if you touch the table. You only lose the point if you move the table or if your free hand touches the table.
You can move anywhere as long as you don't interfere with the other person. You can even go to the other end of the court. You aren't allowed to touch the net though.

Can a player cross the barrier between the two tables and go further?

Hi Kaustubh,
Yes you are allowed to go past the barriers. There is no rule to stop you from doing that during a rally.

But what if another match is going on on that table near which the player is crossing the barrier and going?
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago
There is no rule to stop the player from going in there as long as the ball is in play and he is not just being a larrikin.
