Rules
Alois, regarding the recently changed rule: “a player shall score a point: 2.10.1.6 if an opponent deliberately strikes the ball twice in succession”; This effectively allows a good return when the ball hits the finger then the bat.What happens in the case in which the ball hits the playing hand, fingers and bat, in any order, 3 or more times? Similarly, when the ball hits a finger, slowing down the ball, such that it dribbles along the bat as the stroke is made?
Hi Gerard,
This is an interesting twist. I will go to my sources to find out.
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.
