Is it permitted to stamp with my foot on the ground while serving? This to disguise the spin or no spin of my serve?

Hi Bingdong,

You are allowed to stamp however not if it is to deliberately disguise the serve.  However, I haven't seen anyone called for this for a very long time.

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.
