Hello, my question is about up to what point does the score go? I've seen times when it goes up to 11 with each player having 2 serves. But many people tell me it is up to 21 with 5 serves each. Which one is true?

Hi Jorge,

The new rule is up to 11 and 2 serves each.

The old rules was up to 21.  All international competition is played up to 11 so that is the best way to go for now.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
