Receiver moving before serve
Rules
Anthony Capasso Asked 10 years ago
Hi guys,
When receiving serve, my opponent says that I can not move to step around or anything until the ball has left the racket. Is this true? Thanks.

Hi Anthony,
No this isn’t true. There is no rule about this. In fact you will notice that a lot of the top players have moved a great deal before the server has actually hit the ball.

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.
