Hitting ball through gap between net and table top

Rules

I accidentally hit the  ball through an unintentional gap between net and table top. So the ball would have hit the join in the centre of the table. Is it legal? I guess the poor table was actually illegal, but it’s used by beginners to have fun.

Hi Brian,

Unfortunately that is not a legal shot.  The ball needs to go over or around the net and isn't allowed to go between the net and the table.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
