Out ball and playing on

Rules

Divan Bosman Asked 9 years ago

I would like to know the following-

If my apponent hits the ball out past the table and I hit it back before it bounces and that ball is in. Does the play go on? Or do i get the point because my opponent hit it out first.

Thank you

Hi Divan,

That is your point. As soon as the ball goes out past the table without bouncing it is your point, even if the ball is hit after that.

This is the rule that causes the most problems at a school or club level.

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.
