Hi, Alois

As in tennis, if you make a fault in your serve, it's counted as half a point or directly as an entire point?

I'm so confused....

Thanks

Hi Arturo,

In Table Tennis if you serve a fault you lose the point straight away.  You don't get two chances.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

Sorry for asking too much :), but I read that if when you serve, and the ball hits your side and then your opponent's side it cannot go towards the right or the left (I don't know if I explained it well). I hope u undestood.

Hi Arturo,

The ball is allowed to go anywhere on the other side of the table when you serve in singles.

Hi, Alois

I know it, but I read a little bit of the handbook an it said:

IT'S A LET IF

2.09.01.05.03 in singles leaves the receiver’s court after touching it by either of its sidelines. 

what does it mean?

Thanks
