I saw this video on the news the other day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6L5EUfAolk (btw it's a 2 year old video, but the news channels just picked it up now!)Who won the point?I'd assume the guy in red because the other guy didn't touch the ball, but some people in the comments are saying the umpire is giving the score to the server but the video gets cut off before we can see.Can you please clarify the rule here?

Hi Beauford,

This is the receiver’s point because the server doesn’t touch the ball.

Hitting the Ceiling

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.
