Rules
In the middle of the match, player A served the ball and a point was made. Then both players A and B realized it is Player B who was supposed to serve. Did that point that was made legal ?
Hi Joe,
Once a point is played the point stands even if it was the wrong server. From there you go back to who should be serving for the next point.
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.
