Rules
Hello, I'm writing to you cause I discuss with my friends. In the video you can see, how Alina hit the ball, it fell on the other side of the table, then hit the net, and Veronica returned the ball. But the situation is really difficult and I think that Veronika has won the point. But what is the truth?
Hi Yullia,
It looks like it is the Red players point. The Blue player hits the ball, it hits the net and then hits the table and then the net post. As the net post is considered part of the net, it means the ball has only bounced once on the table before the Red players hits it. Then the Red player makes a good return to win the point.
It is quite complicated to watch but that is the rule.
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.
