Rules
Hi Alois
If the opponent hits the ball out of the table and I take it can the game go on or will anyone lose the point ?

Hi Wajahat,
As soon as someone hits the ball before it bounces, that is the end of the point. If they hit it when it is still over the table, they lose the point. However, if the ball goes out past the table first and then they hit the ball before it bounces, it is their point because the first mistake was that the ball went out.
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.
