DEFENITIONS 

 

Rally- a period during which the ball is in play.

 

The ball is in play from the last moment at which it is stationary on the palm of the free hand before being intentionally projected in service until the rally is decided as a let or a point.

 

Let- is a rally of which the result is not scored.

 

Point- is a rally of which the result is scored.

 

A player strikes the ball if he touches it in play with his racket, held in the hand, or with his racket hand below the wrist.

 

A player obstructs the ball if he, or anything he wears or carries, touches it in play when it is above or travelling towards the playing surface, not having touched his court since last being struck by his opponent.

 

The server is the player due to strike the ball first in a rally.

 

The receiver is the player due to strike the ball second in the rally.

 

The ball shall be regarded as passing over or around the net assembly if it passes anywhere other than between the net and the net post or between the net and the playing surface.

 

The end line shall be regarded as extending indefinitely in both directions.

 

THE SERVICE

 

Service starts with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server’s stationary free hand.

  • The ball must hit the server’s side of the table prior to going over or around the net. It must also directly touch the receiver’s side of the court; doubles, the ball shall touch successively the right half of the court of server & receiver.
  • The ball must be visible at all times.  It cannot be hidden from the receiver or his partner by anything they wear or carry.

 

THE RETURN

 

The ball, having been served or returned, shall be struck so that is passes over or around the net assembly and touches the opponent’s court, either directly or after touching the net assembly.

 

THE ORDER OF PLAY

 

In singles, the server shall first make a service, the receiver shall then make a return and thereafter server and receiver alternately shall each make a return.

 

  • In doubles, the server shall first make a service, the receiver shall then make a return, the partner of the server shall then make a return, the partner of the receiver shall then make a return and thereafter each player in turn following that sequence shall make a return. 

 

A LET

 

The rally

  • If in service the ball, in passing over or around the net assembly touches it, provided the service is otherwise correct or the ball is obstructed by the receiver or his partner.

 

  • If the service is delivered when the receiver is not ready and did not make an attempt to strike the ball.

 

A POINT

Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point

  • If an opponent fails to make a correct service;
  • If an opponent fails to make a correct return;
  • If, after he has made a service or a return, the ball touches anything other than the net assembly before being struck by an opponent;
  • If the ball passes over his court or beyond his end line without touching his court after being struck by an opponent.
  • If the opponent strikes the ball twice in succession.

 

A MATCH

 

A match shall consist of the best of any odd number of games.

 

     THE ORDER OF SERVING, RECEIVING AND ENDS

 

  • The right to choose the initial order of serving, receiving and ends shall be decided by lot and the winner may choose to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end.
  • When one player or pair has chosen to serve or to receive first or to start at a particular end, the other player or pair shall have the other choice.
  • After each 2 points the receiving player or pair shall become the serving player or pair until the end of the game. Unless both teams have 10 points then each team will serve 1 point in turn.
  • In each game of a doubles match, the pair having the right to serve first shall choose which of them will do so and in the first game of a match the receiving pair shall decide which of them will receive first; in subsequent games of the match, the first server having been chosen, the first receiver shall be the player who served to him in the preceding game.
  • In doubles the receiver and the server change positions.
