Foul Serve
Rules
Tayyib Rizwan Asked 3 years ago
Hi
If someone does a wrong serve like not tossing the ball up before serving but other than that, the serve is perfectly fine, what happens? Is the serve repeated or is it the opponent's point? Or something else?

Hi Tayyib,
If the serve is illegal in any part then it is a point against the server.
The umpire may warn the player in this situation but they don't have to.

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.

Subsequent foul serves mean that the receiver will be awarded the point.
