i just wonder: if i serve and the ball hits my opponent's table side twice, do i or my opponent get the point?
also, is that just for serve or also when the ball is in play?

Hi Sindre,

This is your point.  The ball is allowed to bounce as short (close to the net) as you like.  Your opponent has to hit it before it bounces the second time or it is your point.  This is for serving and for general hitting as well.

Good luck with your table tennis.
