Match rules

1. The alternate will serve every 5 points in the first round and every 2 points from the second round to the 5th round.

On each side of the table, five points are awarded alternately at a time in the first round.

On each side of the table, take two points at a time from 2 to 5. during the round. Example of an exception: After a tie of 20-20 or 10-10 (“two”), the entries alternate at each point.

2. Throw the ball straight up as you feed

How do you feed the ball in ping pong?

Hold the ball in the open palm behind the head of the table. Throw at least 6 “straight up and hit it on the way down. It must hit one side of the table and then the other side.

NOTE: When the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, it is in play and will therefore be counted as the recipient’s point if the ball is missed or hit incorrectly.

3. Serving can hit anywhere in the singles game

There are no restrictions on where the ball hits your or your opponent’s side of the table. It can bounce two or more times to your opponent’s side (if it is, it’s your point), bounce over the page, or even hit the edge.

4. Serving that touches the net on the way over is “let”

Can the ball hit the net in ping pong?

Yes, during the RALLY, if it touches the top of the net and then hits as an otherwise legal hit. BUT not serving. If the entered ball hits the net on the way over and bounces otherwise legally in play, it is a “let” pass and it is over. There is no limit to how many times this can happen.

5. Volleyball is not allowed

Can you hit the ball before it bounces in ping pong?

No. In regular tennis, you can “volleyball” the ball (by hitting the ball before it bounces to the side of your net). But in table tennis, this leads to a point for your opponent. NOTE: When your opponent hits a ball that flies over the head of the table without touching it and then hits you or a paddle, it is still your point.

6. If your hit bounces back over the net by itself, that’s your point

If you hit the ball in a rally or serve and it bounces back over the net after hitting your opponent’s side of the table (due to extreme spin), without touching your opponent, it’s your point.

7. Touching the ball with a paddle hand is allowed

What happens if the ball hits your finger or hand during a ping pong rally?

If the ball touches your PADDLE hand and otherwise results in a legal hit, there is no rule violation and the game continues normally. The paddle hand includes all the fingers and the hand area below the wrist.

But what if the ball touches a player’s body anywhere else during a ping pong rally?

You must not touch the ball with your non-paddle hand for any reason. It will score a point for your opponent. BUT if your opponent’s hit flies over your side of the table without touching it and hits someone on you or a paddle, it’s still your point.

8. Do not touch the table with your non-paddled hands

You can touch the ball or table with your paddle hand (for example, after peeking in to return a short offer) or other parts of your body. NOTE: If the table moves at all because you touch it during the rally, it is your opponent’s point.

9. The edge ball bouncing off the horizontal surface of the table is good

Otherwise, a legal feed or stroke may touch the top edge of the horizontal table surface and it will be considered valid even if it bounces sideways. The vertical edges of the table are NOT part of the legal playing surface.
