Hi Swaraj,

The only part of your body that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.  Anything else is allowed to touch.  However you are not allowed to move the surface of 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.

Yes that is right Reynel.  The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.
