 Hi!

Are you allowed to stand way off to the left of the table and serve in from an angle?

Hi Phil,

Yes you are allowed to stand and wide as you want.  You still have to be behind the line of the table or the extension of the table.

Most players won't stand too wide as it will make the next ball more difficult.

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.
