When it hit the white line in my club the people I was playing with said I was out because the ball hit the white line. Am I meant to be out?

Hi Adam,

The white line is definitely in and part of the table.  Take a look at this video in our Rules  section on Hitting the Edge.

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.
