Rules

Hi, I was just wondering, if you hit the net post and the ball still hits the opponents side of the table does that still count as your point?

Hi Jack,

If it hits the net post and then, as long as it hits the table after that, it is considered to be in.  You don't see it happen too often, but it does occur in matches sometimes.
