Hi,

The Table is 9ft or 2.74m by 5ft or 1.525m.  The height of the surface off the floor is 76cm and the height of the net is 6in or 15.25cm.  Just as a little trick to remember the metric measurements... If you add up the digits within each measure in the metric measurements they all add up to 13... 2 + 7 + 4 etc...

Here is a link to our rules booklet that will also help you if you have any other rules questions.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
