Hitting the finger
Rules
dipansh jindal Asked 13 years ago
When i play table tennis with a opponent and he does a topspin the ball usually touches my finger on the bat. i am wondering is it allowed to touch the finger on the ball.(not the free hand finger)

Hi Dipansh,
If the ball hits the finger only and not the bat it is always OK. it is also OK if it hits the finger and the bat as long as it is unintentional. This is a new rule.

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.

what if it touches the handle on the bat
That is still OK.
