Losing the game on a fault serve

Rules

Hi, Lets say my I am at game point (10), and my opponent is serving. If he makes a bad serve, do I win the game? He says that you can not lose on a serve if its game point. Is this true? I couldnt find such a rule. Thanks, J

Hi Jason,

That is not correct.  If he makes a bad serve on gamepoint then that is the end of the game.

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.
