Hey coach, is there a limit to the number of towel breaks in a game?

Hi Nilabhra,
You are only allowed to towel after every 6 points in a game.

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.

how many time break we can take? every set or only once all of game? and is it 1 minute?
Hi Mehmet,
You have 1 minute between games and also there is on Time Out opportunity per match per player or doubles pair. The Time Out is also for up to 1 minute.

In regards to time-outs, I was following the world championship recently and I noticed a slight change in regards to time-out rules. The moment the person calls time-out returns to the table, even if the one minute is not up, the time-out is over at that moment. Just an observation
