If a player hits the table tennis bat on the table will the opponent get a point or it is fine? 

Thx for helping

Hi Arya,

You are allowed to touch the table with your bat. In fact the only thing that can't touch the table is your free hand. Watch this video to see us explain this rule in detail.

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.
