Refusing Legal Serves

Rules

Bradley Thibodeau Asked 5 years ago

My company has a work table tennis league with 14 players right now. My biggest issue is that I'm one of only 3 or 4 players who serve legally. Everyone else holds the ball over the table and serves from their fingertips. Do you have any advice for convincing a crowd of amateur players to play by ITTF rules?

Hi Bradley,

That is a really difficult one.

You could put up a copy of the table tennis rules brochure that we have.  This may help to convince them, however, if nobody wants to play by the rules you may be in trouble.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
