Ball hits debris on the table
Rules
Tim Challener Asked 6 years ago
During play if a ball hits some unseen debris on the table and bounces strangely should the point be replayed or does the point stand? If replayed who must declare the bounce unfair: both players and/or umpire?

Hi Tim,
This is the umpires call. Usually they will let it go and the point will stand. Hard to show that the ball did hit the debris on the table.

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.
