Hitting your fingers
Rules
Lance Wells Asked 8 years ago
When you play a stroke and the ball hits not only your bat but your fingers and still goes in does it count as a valid return or do you lose the point?

Hi Lance,
Up to your wrist is considered to be part of your bat. So even if the ball hits both your finger and the bat it is still in.

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.
