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.

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.

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