Hi Aarya,

Your free hand isn't allowed to touch the table.  Anything else is allowed to touch the table as long as you don't move the table at all.

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.
