Net Posts and Framework
Rules
Peter Kuskie Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
I was telling a member of our club about the answer to the question I asked here today about crossing over to the opponents side of the court and he told me what happened in last Wednesdays fixtures.
A player hit the ball which travelled along the top of the net before hitting the net post, dropping onto the net posts metal framework on the opponents side of the net and falling to the ground. At no point did it hit the table surface on the opponents side - it just hit the lower net frame which extends beyond the tables surface on the opponents side.
Who's point is this?
Thank you,
Peter

Hi Peter,
The net post is considered part of the net. So that would mean that the ball hasn't hit the table so it would be a point against the player hitting the ball.
Hope this clears it up.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
