Change of ends
Rules
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
I have seen many matches in which players change there side during a set. Why is it so? I have given a link below. At 9:09 they change their side.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5xQpZBVMJw

Hi Sourav,
You will notice in this clip that it is the deciding 7th set.
When the first player reaches 5 in the deciding set the players change ends. It is only in the deciding set though.

Touching the Table
Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.

I don't like this rule, I don't see the benefit of it
Hi Kevin,
Sometimes players feel there is an advantage at one end so this evens things up.
