Hi there,

if in a rally, the ball hits the net and bounces on the net or rolls over it and then hits the opponent's side of table then is the play continued or is the point awarded to the opponent?

Hi Kieran,

After a serve if the ball hits the net and goes on correctly then it is play on.

It is only a let on the serve. 

For other rules you can take a look at the free download we have of the Table Tennis Rules.  It is also available in Word format from our Free Downloads page.
