If the recieive engages in a return that doesn't hit the table and then doesn't return who is granted the point?

Hi Jared,

The first mistake counts.  Anything that happens after that doesn't matter.

So if the return doesn't hit the table that is the end of the point.

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.
