Changing rackets during tournament
Rules
Phillip Simmons Asked 12 years ago
Coach, I know you can not change rackets during a MATCH, under normal conditions. But is it ok to change rackets during a TOURNAMENT, before the start of your next match? I read all the rules but did not any mention of this.

Hi Phil,
From a rules point of view, you can change rackets in a tournament. There is no rule banning that.
On a technical or tactical viewpoint though, I would only change if there was a real need. I think changing rackets during a tournament is difficult to adjust to. If it is just a matter of poor form, I would persevere with the same racket and try to change technique or mindset.

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.
