Hello,

When player A is at point game does player B get the service until he either ties or loses?

I have come upon 2 people who play that way.

Thanks, Higgins

Hi Kathleen,

Definitely not...

The service is not effected by the score.  You have 2 serves each.  If the scores reach 10 all then you have one serve each alternating till one player is two points ahead.

Now you can correct those other two players.

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.
