Why is the 1st point in the last match belong to MaLong. The ball hits Malong's table then went out.
Hi Bay,
The ball hits the net but then it bounces on the net clamp that is on the table. It doesn't actually hit the surface of the table. The whole net and the clamp is considered to be part of the net so it was led that the ball hadn't hit the table so it was out and the point awarded to Ma Long.
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.
