Table Tennis

written by: mattbeckwith
 
Test your knowledge of the rules of Ping Pong according to the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). You may be surprised to find that the official rules are quite different from the rules which most casual players follow.

Question 1:


By ITTF rules, when you serve, the ball must not bounce more than once on the opponent's side of the table. If it does, then you lose the point (even though your opponent did not return the serve). This is to ensure that the serve is not so short as to be impossible to retrieve.
False
True

Question 2:


By ITTF rules, a game is played to 21, with the serve changing every 5 points. A game must be won by 2 points, so the score can sometimes exceed 21 points.
False
True

Question 3:


By ITTF rules, if you touch the table with your free hand while playing, you lose the point.
False
True

Question 4:


By ITTF rules, the ball cannot travel around the side of the net to reach the other side of the table. That is, the ball must travel over the net.
False
True

Question 5:


By ITTF rules, if player A hits the ball over the net, and the ball hits player B's side of the table, and then, before player B has hit the ball, the ball travels back over to player A's side of the table, then player A wins the point.
True
False

Question 6:


By ITTF rules, at the moment when the server's paddle makes contact with the ball, the ball must be located: (1) above the table, and (2) off the end of the table. In other words, the ball cannot be below the level of the table when it's served, and the ball cannot be directly above the surface of the table when it's served.
False
True

Question 7:


By ITTF rules, when a player is within one point of losing the game, it is his serve.
True
False

Question 8:


By ITTF rules, the server must throw the ball up at least 16 cm (approximately 6 inches) before hitting it with the paddle.
True
False

Question 9:


By ITTF rules, if a player is behind 7 points to zero, he loses the game immediately. This is called a "skunk".
True
False

Question 10:


By ITTF rules, if the ball touches any part of the hand holding the paddle, you lose the point.
True
False
