Hi the Coach.

If I make a return without hitting an opponent's side of the table but it hit an opponent's pad or body, who win this point?

Hi Scott,

If the ball is still over the table when he hits it then it is your point.  If the ball has already gone past the table then it is already out so it is his point.

Hope this clears it up.

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.
