Table foul

Rules

Santosh More Asked 13 years ago

Is it a foul if my bat or body touches the table while playing shot?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Santosh,

Your bat and body are allowed to touch the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You aren't allowed to move the table though with any part of your body.

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.
