Hi Alois and Jeff, is it legal if your opponent accidentally or intentionally hits or smashes the ball and after it bounce, it hits your head but it goes in?

Hi Joshua,

If it hits the table first it is a good shot.  If it hits you and then hits the table then it is out and it is your point.

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.
