Rules
Hello alois,
Thanks for all the answers you gave me lately.
I want to know if you do a Ma Lin serve to your opponents side, without hitting the net and it comes back to your side hitting the net. Is that let or ok?
Thanks
Hi Matt,
That is perfectly legal and you would win the point if that happened. Once the ball has gone over the net and landed on your opponents side, the serve is considered good.
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.
