Changing bats

Rules

Coach,

Can one change bats during a tournament? If so, how often? I would think not in the middle of a single game, but I have no idea.

Sorry if this has been covered; I will try the search function next time.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

You are not allowed to change your bat during a match against an opponent.  However, if you have finished a match and are ready to play a new opponent you can use a different bat for the new opponent.

The only time you are allowed to change bats during a match is if you damage it accidentally.

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.

Hi Stan,

The white card is just for a time out.

If a player commits an offence like shouting or swearing they will usually get a Yellow card which is a warning.

The yellow card is a warning.  If they award a point after a second offence they hold up the yellow and red cards together.  If the coach or adviser commits an offence the umpire can hold up a red card and send them away from the area.  If players commit  offences the referee can be called and he can dismiss the player and hold up the red card.
