Good evening Alois, above is a link to a video of a player over balancing after his shot and touching the table, is this a legal play or not?
Regards
Ross

Hi Ross,
Once the point is over it is fine to touch the table. Just by listening to the ball here it sounds like the ball has touched something else after the table before he touches the table. That would mean the point is finished by the time he touches the table.
It is hard to tell here but it is probably legal.
I recognise that hall in Hamilton... great stadium.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
