    TABLE TENNIS RULES


    Singles Game
    Scoring
    The winner of a match shall be the player who first scores 21 points, unless both players have 20
    points, in which case the winner must gain a two point lead to win. The choice of ends and
    service at the start of a game shall be decided by a coin toss.

    The Service
    The service shall be delivered by releasing the ball, without imparting any spin upon release, and
    striking it with the paddle outside the boundary of the court near the server's end. Finger spins
    and rubbing the ball against the racket face are illegal. Any spin imparted to the ball must come
    from action of the racket upon impact with the ball. The ball shall be struck so that it first drops
    into the server's court by passing directly over or around the net.

    The Change of Service


    The service in singles and doubles passes from one player to another after every five points
    scored.

    A Good Return
    A ball having been served or returned in play shall be struck by the player so that it passes
    directly over or around the net and lands in the opponent's court; provided that if the ball, during
    play, returns of its own impetus over or around the net, it may be played the same as a returned
    ball.

    Let Ball
    A let is a rally from which no point is scored. It occurs when: a) the ball touches the net or its
    supports in service, provided the service is otherwise good or has been volleyed by the receiver;
    b) a service is delivered when the receiver or his partner is not ready, provided no attempt has
    been made to return the ball; c) a player fails to make a good service or return through an
    accident beyond his control, such as a movement by a spectator or a sudden noise; d) the ball is
    broken in play; or e) a rally is interrupted to correct a mistake in playing order or ends.

    Either player shall lose a point or side out:


    1. If he/she fails to make a good service, unless a let is declared.
    2. If a good service or a good return is made by the opponent and he/she fails to make a
    good return.
    3. If racket, or any part of player or clothing, touches the net or its supports while the ball is
    in play.
    4. If the player moves the table in any way while playing the ball.
    5. If a player's free hand touches the table while the ball is in play.
    6. If, at any time, he/she volleys the ball; a volley consists of hitting the ball before
    it has bounced.
    Doubles Game
    The rules for singles shall apply to doubles play in all instances except those indicated below.

    The Table
    A one-eighth-inch white line shall be drawn down the center of the table parallel to the side lines.
    This shall be called the service line.

    A Good Service
    The service shall be delivered as previously provided and so that it touches first the server's right
    half court or the center line on his side of the net, and then, passing directly over or round the net,
    touch the receiver's right half court or the center line on his side of the net.

    The Choice of Order of Play


    The pair who has the right to serve the first five services in any game shall decide which partner
    shall do so, and the opposing pair shall then decide similarly who shall first be the receiver.

    The Order of Service


    Each server shall serve for five points. At the end of each term of service, the one who was
    receiving becomes the server, and the partner of the previous server becomes the receiver. This
    sequence of the receiver becoming the server and the partner of the previous server becoming
    the receiver continues until the end of the game to the score of 20-all. At the score of 20-all, the
    sequence of serving and receiving shall continue uninterrupted except that each player shall
    serve only one point in turn, and the serve alternates after each point until the end of the game.

    The Order of Play


    The server shall first make a good service, the receiver shall then make a good return, the
    partner of the receiver shall then make a good return, and thereafter alternately in that sequence
    shall make a good return.
