Calling a Fault
Rules
Roy J Asked 7 years ago
In a tt game with no umpire, if your opponent serves an illegal ball, say out of the hand, should you call a fault before giving the love one score?

Hi Roy,
This is always a tricky one when there is no umpire. The rules of Table Tennis were written with an umpire in mind.
It is a judgement call often about whether it is out of the hand or not.
However if you have made that decision, then the first call can be "Fault" followed by the score.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. 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.
