OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unfold table
2.  Add net
3. lace in pool
4. Can also be used on a flat tabletop

1. GAMES ARE PLAYED TO 11 POINTS
   A Game is played to 11 points. A Game must be won by two points. A Match is generally the best three of five Games.

2. ALTERNATE SERVES EVERY TWO POINTS
   Each side of the table alternates serving two points at a time.
   EXCEPTION: After tied 10-10 (“deuce”), service alternates at every point. Can you lose on a serve in ping pong? Yes! There is no separate rule for serving on Game Point.

3. TOSS THE BALL STRAIGHT UP WHEN SERVING
   How do you serve the ball in ping pong? Hold the ball in your open palm, behind your end of the table. Toss at least 6″ straight up, and strike it on the way down. It must hit your side of the table and then the other side.
   NOTE: Once the ball leaves the server’s hand it is in play, and so counts as the receiver’s point if the ball is missed or mist-hit

4. THE SERVE CAN LAND ANYWHERE IN SINGLES
   There is no restriction on where the ball lands on your side or your opponent’s side of the table. It can bounce two or more times on your opponent’s side (if so, that’s your point), bounce over the side, or even hit the edge.

5. DOUBLES SERVES MUST GO RIGHT COURT TO RIGHT COURT
   The serve must bounce in the server’s right court, and receiver’s right court (NOTE: landing on center line is fair). Doubles partners switch places after their team serves twice.

6. A SERVE THAT TOUCHES THE NET ON THE WAY OVER IS A “LET”
   Can the ball hit the net in ping pong? Yes, during a RALLY, if it touches the top of the net and then otherwise lands as a legitimate hit. BUT not when serine. If a served ball hits the net on the way over and otherwise legally bounces in play, it’s a “let” serve and is done over. There is no limit on how many times this can happen.

7. ALTERNATE HITTING IN A DOUBLES RALLY
   Doubles partners must alternate hitting balls in a rally, no matter where the ball lands on the table.

8. VOLLEYS ARE NOT ALLOWED
   Can you hit the ball before it bounces in ping pong? No. In regular tennis you may “volley” the ball (hitting the ball before it bounces on your side of the net). But in table tennis, this results in a point for your opponent. NOTE: When your opponent hits a ball that sails over your end of the table without touching it and then hits you or your paddle, that 1s still your point

9. IF YOUR HIT BOUNCES BACK OVER THE NET BY ITSELF IT IS YOUR POINT
   If you hit the ball in a rally. or on a serve and it bounces back over the net after hitting your opponent’s side of the table (due to extreme spin), without your opponent touching ,t, that is your point.

10. TOUCHING THE BALL WITH YOUR 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 play shall continue as normal. Your paddle hand includes all fingers and hand area below the wrist. But what if the ball touches a player’s body anywhere else during a P-in9. pong rally? You may not touch the ball with your non-paddle hand for any reason. It will result in a point for your opponent. BUT if your opponent s hit sails over your side of the table without touching it, and hits any part of you or your paddle, that is still your point.

11. YOU MAY NOTTOUCH THETABLE WITH YOUR NON-PADDLE HAND
    You may touch the ball or the table with your paddle hand (after reaching in to return a short serve, for example), or other parts of your body.
    NOTE: If the tare moves at all from your touching it during a rally, that is your opponent’s point

12. AN “EDGE” BALL BOUNCING OFF THE HORIZONTAL TABLE TOP SURFACE IS GOOD
    An otherwise legal serve or hit may contact the top edge of the horizontal table top surface and be counted as valid, even if it bounces side wise. The vertical sides of the table are NOT part of the legal playing surface.
