Rules for table tennis rubber

Grenville Pereira Asked 12 years ago
HI Alois / Jeff
- What are the rules for the specifications of a table tennis bat during a tournament ?
- I see players giving the bat over to the umpires . What is exactly is checked before the game.
- Also in case there are scratches in the rubber does it disqualify the player.
Thanks
regards
Grenville

Hi Grenville,
They are checking to make sure the rubber is approved. They also check that the rubber isn't damaged in any way. It needs to be an even surface. So if there are any chips or scratches out of it they will usually not allow you to use it.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

Hi Alois,
Are there any specific rules on the weight or thickness of the paddle?
Hi Arnab,
The wood can be any thickness and weight. It is only the rubber that is regulated.
