Rules

I am wondering if the other player gets a point if you step on the ball. Or is there another penalty?

Hi Michael,

There is no penalty for stepping on the ball unless you do it deliberately.  Usually it happens as an accident.

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.
