Sir,

1. In deciding game of singles, does first 5 points mean combination of points of two players?

After changing sides, who are the server and receiver?

2. In deciding games of doubles, after changing sides, who are the server and receiver?

Hi Oscar,

The first 5 points is for one player.  So when one player gets to 5 points it is time to change ends in the deciding game.

In singles the serve and receiver follow the same pattern as before the change of ends.

In doubles the receivers change position.  So, whoever was supposed to receive the next point swaps with their partner and receives the next point.

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.
