5 Official Table Tennis Rules You Should Know

Official table tennis rule on scores states that the first one to score 11 points wins but it also says that a player must win by two points in order to be declared the official winner. If the score is tied at 10 all then it is called a deuce. After a deuce, the players will now have to alternate in serving as opposed to 2 serves per player during the first 20 plays of the game. To win a match, a player must win best out of 3, best out of 5 or best out of 7.

Official table tennis rule on net serves states that a player is allowed unlimited number of net serves. In tennis, a double fault means that the opponent of the player who committed the double fault will score. A good return that hits the net post and lands clean on the opponents side is still considered a legal shot meaning that if the opposing team will not be able to return that shot then the player whose ball hit the net post scores.
