Hello.
What if i serve and the ball hit the side of the table?
Do i repeat the service or is a point for the other guy?

Hi Aris,
If the ball hits the other side of the table after bouncing on your side it almost certainly will be your point as it has probably hit the top even if it is on the edge. As long as it hits somewhere on the top of the table it is considered to be in.

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.
