Hi Joshhua,

You are allowed to return the serve anywhere on the table. It is only the serve in doubles that has restrictions as to where you can place it.

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.
