Backspin back over the net

Rules

I watched a match in which a player hit the ball with backspin that the receiver did not touch but then spun back over the net after hitting the receiver's side of the table one time. Who gets the point?

Thanks,

JT

Hi JT,

That would be the players point who hit the ball with backspin.  The opponent has to touch the ball before it goes back over the net for the point to continue.

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.
