Let or Fault?
Rules
Ayan Madan Asked 17 years ago
Hi Guys!!!
I wanted to ask you, that if you serve and the ball hits the net, goes over but does not touch the opponents side ie. it goes out...is that a let or will that be a fault??
Thanks,
Ayan

Hi Ayan,
Your example is a fault even though the ball hit the net. To be a let it must bounce on your side, hit the net and then bounce on your opponents side.

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.
