Table Tennis Beginner

While everything about the sport might appear miniature – the balls, the rackets, the size of the table – don’t be fooled. Table tennis has enough visual clout to cram an IMAX screen.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

Players use rackets to hit a light, hollow ball across a table divided into two halves by a net.

Players must allow the ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table before returning it to the opposite side.

Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules, including failing to make a correct service, failing to make a correct return, striking the ball twice or moving the playing surface.

All matches in the Singles events are best of seven games, while the Doubles and Team events are best of five games. A game is won by the player first scoring 11 points or more with a lead of at least two points.
