Jeff and Alois,
Is there a time limit in which the ball must be served?

Hi Andrew,
There is no time limit but it just says that play should be continuous. It is a lot to do with the umpires discretion.
After every 6 points the players are allowed a brief stop to use their towels.

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.
