Bat touching the table

Rules

Varun Chaturvedi Asked 13 years ago

If our bat touches the table while playing is it a foul?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Varun,

This is OK, you do not lose a point if your bat touches the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

However if you move the table surface you lose the point.
