Untouched Ball
Rules
Jorge Sanchez Asked 14 years ago
Hi my name is Jorge. I was playing Table Tennis with my friend and he hit the ball to my side of the table, i returned it to him with backspin. When the ball hit his side of the table, the ball bounced back to my side without my friend hitting the ball with his paddle. I could not reach the ball after that. Who gets the point?

The good news is that you win the point Jorge. Your opponent must hit the ball otherwise you win the point. What happened in your match? Did you play the point again or did one of you claim the point?

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.
