Rules
Samuel Lim Asked 14 years ago
dear pingskills, when did they implement the rule change in table tennis? like the banning of speed glue. hidding the ball when serving is prohibited? and the score decrease from 21 to 11? when did they take place?

Hi Samuel,
The glue rule has changed in the last few years. The rule on hiding serve also started a few years ago.
Games to 11 started about 10 years ago. I don't have exact dates. Perhaps someone with a better memory than mine can help.

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.
