Look at this amazing ghost push right off a net ball by Alexis Lebrun, it was done at the side of the table, if Truls were to go around the side to catch that but Alexis were still standing there,  would that count as obstruction?

Hi Jasper,

That was an amazing get and an amazing shot by Alexis.  He has some incredible touch and feel for the ball.  It is usually Truls that is pulling those types of shots.

It might be considered obstruction if he was in the way when Truls was tying to get to the ball especially if he didn't make an attempt to get out of the way.

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.

The amount of feel you'll need in that unexpected moment is crazy, not to mention the super quick reflexes to get there.
