Is it allowed to keep the free arm on the table,i.e.,the elbow or something.Is it also legal if the racquet touvhes the table?

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.

Doubles Serving Rules

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
