Ball in play or out
Rules
Paul Meli Asked 8 years ago
Alois we have a table in our works canteen which has a low roof. My question is this, if a shot is played that hits the ceiling and then lands on the opposing side is it considered a point or a foul stroke.
Cheers

Hi Paul,
As soon as it touches something else such as the roof it is considered out and the player that hit the ball loses a point.
