Hi George,

Once the ball goes out past the table it is out and the person that hit the ball loses the point.  Even if after that the other player touches the ball with their bat the ball is already out.

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
