Net height
Rules
Dale Martinez Asked 6 years ago
Has the table tennis net ever been higher than 6 inches?

Hi Dale,
Not to my knowledge. It has always been 6inches. They have talked for a long tie about raising the height of the net but I don't think that will happen.

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.

If the net height increases, the serve toss has to increase as well,right?
Not necessarily.

ITTF would lose money on this I guess :DD
Because exchanging balls is easy,because they crack,they get accidentally stomped on,they easily get lost etc.
But nets?
In my club,there were 2 nets for more than 20years and they do not seem to be damaged too much.
