Rules
Prajjwal Dimri Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
I just want to know that in a match how many times i can do reserve. Like In a match my opponent's serve hit the net 3 times. Is it legal to reserve many times?

Hi Prajjwal,
If you make a mistake with your serve, that is you serve a fault, you lose the point straight away.
However if you serve a let, that is where the ball touches the net and still goes on correctly, you never lose a point, even if you serve 10 or 20 lets in a row.
I hope this clears the rule up for you.

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.

Yes. I beat the best player Manish(who is 2 year older than me) by 11-9, 13-15, 11-2.
That sounds really good. A couple of close games there as well. They are always pleasing to win. Well keep going now...
