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.

And Merric,

If you mean hitting the ball from a wide position so that it goes around the net, and not over the net, then yes that is allowed.
