Rules

What happens when the person serving hits the table with his bat making a loud noise. I find this happens quite a bit and it is off putting.

Hi Paul,

There is no rule against this unless he moves the table, which is unlikely.  Therefore it is just play on.  It can be distracting but you have to be able to focus on the ball and play the return.
