Throwing Bat
Rules
Tushar Verma Asked 9 years ago
Hi Coach,
I just want to ask that when the some players lose points they throw their bat on the table or anywhere. Is that legal?
It is a kind of a disrespect to the player's most loyal thing, his equipment.

Hi Tushar,
This is not allowed. At major tournaments with official umpires, they will give the player a yellow card. If they persist they can lose points and even the whole game if they continue to throw their bat.

Its amazing how much hostility Table Tennis can create. At one of the Crib rooms here at the Mt Isa Mine, management had to remove one table because the aggression was getting out of hand. Holes were getting punched and kicked through the fibro interior of the walls after a point loss, a glass pannel got smashed out of a sliding door. When the table tennis starts here at work anyone thats not playing leaves the lunch room and eats outside due to the volume of the verbal abuse and the terrible language involved, also people get scared and get a fright when someone smashes the side of their blade on the edge of the table as it makes a real cracking sound or if someone lays there boot into the fridge door.Arguements over whether or not a ball really did clip the net on a serve are very common. Does anyone know if theres any electronic beeper that could clear that up. Ive only been playing this game a few months so dont know much about it, but i have noticed it creates ' passion maybe, it seems to envoke extreme levels of competitiveness, it also seems to attract people who can fight, ( martial artists etc seem to like it) once our superviser wouldnt let our crew go back to work after lunch for a further 1.5 hours because he was so pissed off he couldent work out a guys serve, and noone was going back to work till he had. Even ive noticed im getting very serious about it, a superviser threatened to remove our table the other day because the crews knocking off work earlier for lunch and at the end of shift just to get warmed up for game play, i burred up and said you move that xxxxx Table and ill xxxxxx quit. Considering im on 100k a year, in hind sight thats a rather disturbing comment..Help Alois, Whats going on?
Haha Dean, sounds like a lot of passion going on there.
I think players may need to take a reality check... I guess everyone thinks they are pretty good at Table Tennis so when they lose it hurts them somewhere...
Anyway,... stay safe... never realised this was such a dangerous sport!

This is an issue I find very interesting. Since I believe, table tennis is a very quickening sport. Especially the mind is being quickened, I wonder if the perception of a table tennis player while playing is in some way related to the one of a Tourette person. The Tourette's have a quickened mind as a medical condition. They also swear and burst out louds. Just like the "choos". I believe some players Make short strange loud noises in between of points, witch actually wondered me.
