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.

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.
