Hi Farhan,

You are allowed to serve the ball so that after bouncing it moves off the side of the table.

The only time this is not permitted is in Wheelchair Table Tennis.

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.
