Touch-balls

Rules

Alhaj Siddig Asked 7 years ago

Does an outer touch-ball count in all cases or does it not count in case it touches the outermost fringe of the table coming from beneath the net?

Hi Alhaj,

The ball has to touch some part of the top of the table to be in.

Take a look at our video on Side of Table which will help you to understand this better.

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.
