Good day Coach,

Can an ITTF approved rubber which is totally wearied away without any damage be allowed for international competition. 

Thank you

Hi Abubakar,

As long as the properties of the rubber are not altered greatly I think it would be fine.  

The regulations state that:

2.4.7  The racket covering shall be used without any physical, chemical or other treatment.

2.4.7.1 Slight deviations from continuity of surface or uniformity of colour due to accidental damage or wear may be allowed provided that they do not significantly change the characteristics of the surface.

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.
