Hi Keno,

Yes this is a game playing under the expedite rule.

The umpire is counting how many shots the receiver has put back on the table.  If they get 12 shots on then they automatically win the point.

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 Viet.  You are completely right.  I don’t know why I wrote 12.

 So there's a rule that if the reciever, so the opposite of the server, puts thirteen shots back on the table it's automatically their point in any sort of game?

Take a look at the rule on expedite.

Can the players decide if they don't want to use the expedite system?

And also when it is saying 18 points does it mean one persons points or the sum of both players points?

It is the sum of both player’s points.
