Rules
Hello,
I wanted to ask that if my opponent serves or returns the ball very close to the net on my side,is it ok if my abdomen touches the edge of the table of my side to receive the ball because i need to bring the racket too close to the net to receive the ball???
Hi Harishvar,
Yes that is ok. The only part of your body that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.
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.
