Rules

If an opponent’s shot hits the net support and bounces on my side of the table is it considered in play?

Hi David,

The net post is considered to be part of the net so it would be a good shot.

It doesn't happen too often but it does happen so it is a good rule to be aware of.

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.
