Edge Ball Service Who gets the point

Rules

Amadeo Gonzales Asked 8 years ago

Good afternoon from the Philippines :) During service, if the ball accidentally bounces on the edge of the opponent's side of the table, will that be counted as a point or a let? If it's a point, who will be rewarded: the server or the receiver?

Hi Amadeo,

That is the server's point. For the serve to be good it just has to touch somewhere on the receiver's side. The edge is counted as part of their side of the table.

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.
