Change of ends
Rules
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
I have a question.Why do the players in this match change sides in the 5th set ?Is it because it is the last set?

Hi Sourav,
That is a rule of the game. IN the last set of a match when the first player reaches 5 points the players change ends. This is to make sure that both players get the same conditions in case there is something that favours one end.

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.
