11 - 0 is illegal score

morally speaking , it is illegal. if one can sink so low as to skunk somebody 11-0, they dont deserve to play...thats extremely poor sportmanship!

Right bro !!! They doesn't deserve to play.

so, what you all think about that ?
I remember that my teacher said there're no 11 - 0 score on any match...
hhmm....

Hey Fredy, I think your sports teacher used to some other game neither than table-tennis. The same thing happened to me, teacher said my ghost serve(back spin) was a foul. SO, don't play tt at school. You might spoil your game. Pity on you bro!

I don't know either because my sports teacher is not a table tennis teacher, he's just guiding us to the match, not the coach...

poor me :(

11-0 is possible and it happened to me several times (I got 0 point).

I don't think it's morally bad for the winner to take 11 points. This is sports! You play the best way you can. If you can take complete victory, it should be viewed as good play on your part.

Giving points to your opponent because you think he cannot win them by himself is condescension. I don't want that on the receiving end.

FYI there was a previous thread on this issue:

oh i see... thank you everyone ^^

This is just so your opponent does not get humiliated. For example if in the Olympics a person had a lot of supported, how do you think they would feel about losing 11-0 in front of all their fans? However, personally, depending on who I'm playing, I might just try to win the point on the safe side (simply because they might catch up).

Oliver, I beg to disagree. If the opponent gives one easy point to avoid 11-0, I think the other side will surely notice. After all the fans are well-versed in TT matches. It would give more insult instead of saving the face.

I hate losing 0-11.  I've done it, and it makes me feel like I have no need for the sport.  If I know I'm going to be more skilled than the other player, I try to keep it competitive.

In our match last week, one of our players was losing 9-0, he went on to win the that game. So I am not sure it is wise to give the player a point, you may go on to lose the game.

Yeah, sometimes if you deliberately let the other person get a point, it seems you think they a really bad so you give them a point. And thats kinda mean

Arnon. You do have a point but on the other hand, if I won 11-0 I would feel bad about beating my opponent 11-0. Whether or not they prefer losing 11-0 is up to them, but if I won like that I would feel slightly guilty about it.

If anybody loses 11-0 I think he should quit table tennis as he is insulting the sport.

Really??

Oliver, if you feel sorry for your opponent, it's fine. But it's not your fault. You put in your time and effort and your result shows it. Perhaps your opponent is just the opposite. I don't think cultivating the habit of "playing down" on your opponent is good for TT development.

Once in recent ITTF Pro Tour, I watched Adrien Mattenet beat Oh Sang Eun 11-0 without any hesitation. At that time, my thought was like 'Shit, this man has no compunction'. But later, I feel inclined to accept the reality of it. Both played to the best of their ability. The outcome was not their fault.

haha Lol

I lost to Ivan Sulfaro 11-0 at Dandenong (moomba)  senior open 

I Don't think it's an insult to win a game by 11-0. Just don't drewl over it and carry on the match.
