Hello,

If someone does so much backspin when serving, hitting etc. if the ball hits my side and goes to the opponents side without me making any contact with the ball, whose point is it?

Hi Kon,

Good question.  This is one that many people get mixed up with.

That is your opponents point.  you have to touch it before it goes backfor the point to continue.

The Mercy Rule

Some people talk about a rule where if you get to a seven nil lead, you automatically win the game. However in table tennis there is no such rule. To win the game you must get to 11 points and be ahead by 2.
