Rules
I was wondering whether the rules for the game vary in different countries. I live in India and I haven't been playing for very long so I wanted to clarify whether or not there are a slightly different set of rules followed here.
Hi Akshay,
The rules are formulated by the International Table Tennis Federation so they are consistent across the whole world.
The Indian Table Tennis Federation follow these rules.
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.
