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.

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.
