Warm up - Is it a rule
Rules
Viet Dang Xuan Asked 12 years ago
Hi PingSkills,
I always see players doing some on-table warm up before starting matches by some counterhits and topspin-block. But is it possible to refuse warming up with the opponent or we must do it? If yes, do we need to have a good reason (such as already warmed up)?

Hi Viet,
It is just part of the etiquette of the game. There is no rule that says you have to.
