Hi Guys

If I serve a short backspin serve which clears the net and the spin returns the ball back over the net without the receiver touching the ball, who gets the point?

Since your opponent hasn't touched the ball you win the point. If you can perfect that serve you'll be World Champion!

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.
