    CHAPTER

    9: TABLE
    TENNIS
    Like most other sports, table tennis had
    humble beginnings as a “parlor game,”
    open to anyone with access to a table,
    paddle, and ball. The game began in the
    1880s, when lawn tennis players adapted
    their game to play indoors during the
    winter.
    Ping-Pong is a trademark name for
    table tennis and associated
    equipment. The name “PingPong”
    was invented by the English firm J.
    Jaques and Son at the end of the
    1800s and later trademarked in the
    United States by Parker Brothers,
    the board game company.
    The game quickly caught on, and as
    early as 1901, tournaments were being
    conducted with over 300 participants.
    The Ping-Pong Association was
    formed but was renamed The Table
    Tennis Association in 1922.
    Playable Events:

    1. Men’s Singles
    2. Women’s Singles
    3. Men’s Teams
    4. Women’s Teams
    5. Mixed Doubles
    FACILITIES & EQUIPMENTS
    Tables-Included in the list of important table
    tennis equipment is the table where the game is
    to be played. The ITTF specifies that the official
    table tennis tables that are used in the
    tournament must be 9 ft long, 5 ft wide and must
    be placed 30 inches high from the ground.
    They come in either green, blue or black in color
    and are usually made from a type of hardboard.
    The surface must be smooth as to provide the
    lowest friction as possible. Not all table tennis tables
    are created equal! At California Table Tennis, they
    only use top-of the line Butterfly tables.
    Professional Rubber Flooring:
    This kind of flooring is usually
    imported directly from China. The
    flooring material is identical to the
    texture of a leathered basketball and
    this flooring commonly used at the
    highest competition level.
    Ball
    The ball that is used in the game is a 2.7grams, small celluloid ball
    that is usually colored white or orange depending on the preference
    of the players. They can come in different qualities with those
    possessing 3 stars being the best kind and is often recommended
    especially to those who are just starting up. Also, they come in a
    range of sizes from 38 mm to 54 mm in diameter. However, the 40
    mm diameter ball is the one that is used mainly on international
    leagues and competitions as it is the one that is specified by the
    International Table Tennis Federation of ITTF.
    Rubber, Rocket, or Paddle
    The table tennis racket or paddle is another important piece of
    equipment that is used in hitting the ball back and forth on the table.
    Its shape is similar to the ones used in the game of tennis except that
    it is smaller and is made of different materials. The racket is usually
    made of wood and rubber and is divided into two parts: the handle
    and the blade. The quality of both of the parts of the racket can
    affect the force that can be applied by the player and it is important
    the player choose the best kind of rackets in order to really improve.
    Net and Post
    The net which is the last piece of important equipment is
    usually brought together with the table or with the rackets or
    it can be bought by itself. Whatever the case, it should be six
    feet long and six inches wide and has an upper white tape
    that is not more than 15mm wide. Also, it should include an
    assembly so that it can be attached to the middle of the table
    tennis table.
    BASIC RULES

    SCORING
    A match is played best 3 of 5 games (or 4/7 or 5/9). For each
    game, the first player to reach 11 points wins that game,
    however a game must be won by at least a two points
    margin. A point is scored after each ball is put into play (not
    just when the server wins the point as in volleyball). The
    edges of the table are part of the legal table surface, but not
    the sides.
    Flow of the match
    Each player serves two points in a row and then
    switch server. However, if a score of 10-10 is
    reached in any game, then each server serves
    only one point and then the server is switched.
    After each game, the players switch side of the
    table. In the final game, the players switch side
    again after either player reaches 5 points.
    Legal serve
    The ball must rest on an open hand
    palm. Then it must be tossed up at
    least 6 inches and struck so the ball
    first bounces on the server's side and
    then the opponent's side. If the serve
    is legal except that it touches the net,
    it is called a let serve. Let serves are
    not scored and are reserved.
